Where2Live

A tiny tool to find the best place to live for the whole household. Drop pins for mom's work, dad's work, daycare, football — every POI gets real road-network isochrones, and the gold overlap zone is where everyone can reach everything within your minutes. Share the map with a link; anyone can view it and fork.

// why

thesis.md

Moving city, renting somewhere new, helping friends relocate — the question is always the same: where should I live? Commercial tools lock you in behind an account, push you towards listings, or cost money to run. This one is a single static page. You add the places that matter, you see the map, you share a URL. No account, no database, no tracking — and your map is as portable as a link.
