if you could make this selfhostable or have the database downloadable that would be really cool. thanks for making this, I really like things like this
The idea of "Place but text only" seems too obvious in hindsight but somehow this os the first one I've seen. Works really well, kudos to the creator.
The next step would then be another clone of this but with a text representation of the world map as the starting point. Call it wfastserial or something
