#2Great work. How can people act on the info on specific cities ? There should be a way to balance wrong/right/... for variables that are subjective (weather, friendliness to foreigners, ....)

#3Chiang Mai? You clearly haven't been there!
It's nice for a holiday but not for living.

It's not for everyone, but there's hundreds of digital nomads living there now I think, and I've lived there myself

#5Nice! I have some reservations about some of the data though; f.ex. I have a hard time to believe that SF has only slightly higher costs of living than Berlin.

It really depends, the NomadCost is based on staying there for a month, and not being able to rent long-term. So you'll be staying in private rooms in hostels, low-end hotels and CL/AirBnB apts.
Finding a cheap place in East Berlin for a long-term is definitely a viable option. But not if you move around as fast as digital nomads do.

#7I'm curious where the data comes from? I see that it's a spreadsheet but how is it verified?
For example, I don't know what the average price of a co-working space is in Tokyo but I do know that "The Terminal" in Harajuku is only $150 a month. It's open from 11am to 11pm and includes free drinks (soda, coffee, tea).
Co-ba, has more than one location, the one in Shibuya is $160 a month and is open 24 hours.
The Open Source Cafe in Shimokitazawa is tiny but also similarly priced as is one I visited in Koenji (sorry, I forgot the name).
So, I'm curious where that $444 a month estimate comes from.
Rent is also iffy. It currently says $70 a day but rent varies widely depending on your standards and how far out of the center you're willing to live. I know people that have had a large 3bd apt for $1200 a month only 2 stops out various main lines on the express. (which might be like 12 local stops). Whereas downtown it might be $1200 for a studio but then again it depends on the quality. I know guys living in Nishi-Azabu for $600 a month.

Right now it's crowdsourced from an open Google spreadsheet at http://nomadlist.io/edit/
Later I'd like to implement so that it uses baseline values from multiple inputs (e.g. like Numbeo does)

#9Small bug:
I'm not able to switch the currency, it just shows pounds even though I selected Euro in the dropdown menu at the top (http://nomadlist.io/?l=eu)

It's based on short-term staying in the center. It's very subjective data by its nature. YMMV
