Neighborle: List Neighboring Countries
- ytdytvhxgydvhh 3y agoMight want to make it extra clear that you’re looking strictly for land borders? Today’s country, Denmark, has a bridge that connects it to its neighbor, Sweden. But Sweden was not what Neighborle was looking for as a valid answer.
- ytdytvhxgydvhh 3y agoOh, and technically Denmark also has a land border with Canada (if you’re not excluding Greenland): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Island
- vbren12 3y agoIt seems like Greenland is treated as a separate territory, that's why it's not red and can be selected in the dropdown. Not sure if it knows about Canada - Greenland border though... I guess we'll find out when it shows up
- bcatanzaro 3y agoYeah. Bad day for this website to show up on HN if it’s built this shoddily.
- williamdclt 3y agoNo need to be insulting
- adolph 3y agoPedantry-proof is a bit higher bar than non-shoddy
- vbren12 3y agoIt does mention in the how to play (under the question mark) that it only looks at land borders.
- Y_Y 3y agoWorth noting that something very similar is already a component of Worldle

- neovialogistics 3y agoCute, but what about maritime EEZ borders? Example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/North_sea_eez.PNG https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/North_se...
- ano-ther 3y agoGood point. Am curious: what’s the thick black line over land that goes all the way down to Switzerland? Does it affect the sea zones?
- neovialogistics 3y agoThe drainage boundaries AFAICT. On one side of the line any rainfall flows downhill to joins a river that ends up in the North Sea, on the other side of the line it goes downhill to any other body of water.
- davidw 3y agoCurious if it gets some of the edge cases right. France's longest land border is with Brazil, for instance.
