Those village - reviews of people working in the IT-sphere, about life in different cities and countries

Like many startups, we sometimes think about where to move geographically, because when you work on an IT project, you are not tied to a specific place and you can safely choose a comfortable country for living. In general, there are many articles on the Internet about the life of programmers in various countries, but they are all scattered across different resources, and if you want to get acquainted with several countries in general, and compare them, this is not always a convenient process. Also, we knew about the Google Table about life and work in other countries, which Habr's users filled out (I think many people remember her), she is super informative, of course, but at the same time cumbersome, and learning it quickly is not so easy.

In general, we decided that the world urgently needed a special website with feedback from programmers on how they live in other countries. Since we had a google document, then from there we decided to take information for the site. Unfortunately, we were not able to find the creator of the document and contact it, but in any case, this site is non-commercial and made for the convenience of programmers, no monetization is planned here. If there is a creator, then we will be happy to write about him in the section “About the project”, since Without a document, the site would hardly have been so informative.

To visualize the information, we decided to use the world map and place all the reviews directly on it It seemed to us most convenient for perception - if there are several reviews in the same city with different grades, then the average score is derived from them. And in general, you can immediately see visually which regions are most comfortable for life.

At this stage, we are satisfied with the format of the site, but there are some ideas for the development of this small project. First, collect more feedback from Russian-speaking programmers who work in other countries. We think for this we will write in IT publics and on forums. Secondly, for each city you can create some kind of knowledge base: are there any Russian communities, some useful contacts of people and organizations, links with useful information. Third, add a job section. For starters, these may simply be links to HH-type portals, where there is relevant information on IT work.

We develop the project “Tech Village” as a hobby in our free time.
While this is all our ideas for this project. We are open to any suggestions that will help make the site better, so please contact us. And do not forget to leave your opinion about the city where http://techvillage.ru/
