City guides and location insights for digital nomads and remote workers. Showcasing the best neighbourhhoods to stay, cost of living, wifi speeds and more.
Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Robi and this is my side project RoamRank
RoamRank is (another) collection of city guides for digital nomads and aims to be the most comprehensive and accurate dataset freely available online (still a lot of work to do on that front). It's completely free to use - no paywall or sign up required.
It outlines typical monthly costs for digital nomads and suggests the best areas to stay in a particular city. This was a problem I was keen to solve for myself after being a full time digital nomad for 4+ years but having no easy way to know which area of a new city I should be staying in.
It also surfaces useful info such as typical median wifi speeds for cities (and neighbourhoods within) compiled from real world Ookla speed tests, when and when not to visit and also personal recommendations of places to work, party and relax from myself and a network of digital nomads on the ground all over the world (recommendations always welcome).
It has a decent filtering system (similar to Nomadlist) to allow users to drill into the data and find the best locations for their critiera - still a lot of work to do on this though.
It's by no means "finished" - I doubt it will ever be "finished" cos the dataset is constantly changing and can always improve - plus I am working on adding new locations, features and data to the site every day.
Any feedback, suggestions, improvments or critiques taken in good faith and thank you for the support :-)

This has been years in the making. As an early proponent of RW I am stoked to see it live. There are many easter eggs in here. Robi is a serial builderpreneur as is incredibly passionate about the data. Great work
@robibuckley I really like the design 👏🏻 2 questions 1. are those images generated by the city ai? they look great, just wondering 2. what is the main difference between RoamRank and nomadlist?
Congrats on the launch 🚀
@crebuh - Hey Christofer - good questions. Some images are stock images and other are photos taken by myself (or other nomads) in the actual locations. I love Nomadlist but the obvious key difference is RoamRank is an open, free to browse platform. Not a paid community like Nomadlist. RoamRank also focuses more on where to stay in cities and personal recommendations. Nomadlist is more of a community I feel
@crebuh - Yeah for sure. And me too! Having users contribute to improve the dataset is something I have considered. There is definitely value in crowd sourcing and sharing tips and personal experiences but regardless I would be keen to keep the site open and free for anyone to use and not sat behind a login or pay wall :-)
