    That's so cool, I'm about to move to a new place myself to start my family and i just got to compare with my other options, confirming my choice.

    is it possible to get a ranked list? it's a bit finicky to hover over the places accurately.

      Thanks!

      What exactly would you use the ranked list for? You can zoom into the map (which should make hover less finnicky), compare two places (on the "Vergleich" tab), and the top ~5 places currently in view are highlighted with a red dot. Maybe one of those already helps?

        Yeah i saw the red highlighted cities and thats really useful, just when i'm zoomed out and try to quickly hover over each red point, the cursor is a "grab hand" so it's hard to tell if i point at the exact point (i often first see the lower ranked surrounding places until i wiggle it), i was wondering if i could see a list of all red marked points in the current view.

          Oh, interesting. I usually don't spend much time zoomed out.

          Would highlighting the name while it's hovered help?

          I could also add a tab that lists the top spots in the current view frame.

            It already shows the name when hovered or not? Yeah a tab that lists the top spots in the current view would be perfect i think.

              Alright, I'll explore the options when I work on it next. Thank you for the feedback!

    This looks amazing and really useful stuff! Are you planning to extend this to other countries, because I would love to have something like this for London (UK).

      Thanks!

      Unfortunately most of the data sources are Germany only. It would take a lot of research to find equivalents for the UK, as well as another round of fine tuning on the algorithms.

      That being said, I would love to see it too. It's MIT so perhaps someone will fork it some day.
