That was a satisfying part of my day. Thank you.

Most passport rankings count every country as 1 point, so Tuvalu = France.

I made a version where each visa-free door is weighted by how many people actually go there.

So opening France, Spain, the US, China, Turkey etc matters much more than opening tiny islands with Robinson Crusoe as a visitor.

Top result: South Korea, at about 1.45B tourist-arrivals worth of accessible world (thanks to India). Bottom: Afghanistan/Pakistan range, under 50M / 30M. Most open destination: Maldives - 30 day visa for all but Israel. Most overlooked: Burundi - opened the door to the whole world, but nobody came in.

And two more things:

  1. You can compare countries: where can the French go that Belgians can't?

  2. With multiple citizenships, you can build your own passport gang. Will Argentina+Italy beat South Korea?

The dataset: https://github.com/visualpharm/visa-free-dataset - pull requests are welcome.

Health data. That’s why they’re rolling out Chatgpt Health.

https://aiandtractors.com/ - the last iteration of my personal website (the first one was in 1996). I mostly use it to vibe code the hobby projects; the last one is a better passport ranking that brings Korea to the first place, not Singapore: https://aiandtractors.com/passport-ranking/

Stock photography, better selfies, or simply fun. Also, people always invent some use creators never thought about.

We've built a very similar feature across https://icons8.com content.

What keeps exciting me when you upload a photo of a building and find tiny icons with a somewhat similar architecture, or illustrations, or realistic renders/other photos.

Founder here.

You have correct observations and ask the right questions.

1. We do promote our content. It's not enough to support the development. 2. We could afford a generous freemium. Unlike Figma, Lunacy is resource-efficient and has no pressure from investors. 3. However, collaboration requires cloud, so we'll charge for cloud storage.

TLDR Lunacy will be a highly generous freemium.

Their specs help, but we also support their old format which was basically a dump. We had to reverse engineer it.

Also, we'll import from Figma this fall. You're right, it's never easy. It's a bug valley of countless files that render a little distorted.

I see your concern and it’s valid. We don’t store anything, but you probably need more warranties than that.

I don’t think it’s the best way to hide. Generated photos are detectable after all, and using a generated photo raises a flag.

But I say it’s good enough for most cases of everyday life:

* Uber drivers chasing attractive customers online

* Jealous ex

* Airbnb and coach surfing

* Classifieds encounters to sell a bike, etc.

It's not.

You can use it for free, just attribute it.

$2.99 gives you a double resolution.

We don't use these photos to train.
