I made Nomad List ( https://nomadlist.com ), which lets you find the best places to live and work. It's a mix between a cost of living index and a community for digital nomads, remote workers and general (modern) travelers.

Very cool. How is the data curated and validated?

I have two: http://twiddla.com and http://s3stat.com

They combine to bring in a nice living, though they take up little enough of my time between them that I've actually taken a full-time consulting gig as well, doubling up on the college fund for the kids while the getting is good.

Hit me up with any questions you might have.

Very cool project. What is you tech-stack, if I may ask?

Very nice.

What was your motiviation to give it a go? The lack of options from AirBnB in this segment?

I like the idea of your challenge: 12 Startups in 12 Months. (-: Would love to hear how it works out in the long run.

S3stat looks great, but I would say that handing out my AWS credentials is a non-starter; definitely you should make the self-managed as easy as possible.

Also, this page: https://www.s3stat.com/web-stats/how-it-works says $5/month, and others say $10/month.

Indeed. We actually don't ask for AWS credentials anymore. We have a tool you can use to set things up from your end and create an IAM Role with read-only access that we can use to grab your logs.

That saves a bunch of hassle, since I really don't want to be sitting on a database of AWS keys.

(and fixed, thanks!)

I just saw twiddla for the first time the other day when discussing remove tutoring as a market. Always good to hear a bit about the people behind such projects. Nice work.
