I built https://wherevernow.com/ to solve three visceral problems:

News Perspective Gap Compare how major events are reported by local vs international outlets (e.g. Taiwan election coverage in Taipei Times vs BBC)

Price Transparency Settle debates like "Are Xiaohongshu prices real?" by checking identical products on U.S/Walmart and China/JD.com simultaneously

Authentic Connections Join discussions on 2channel (Japan) or Reddit (Brazil) without VPN, preserving original language/cultural context

Tech approach: Country-specific keyword routing (like valentin.app for search) Lightweight proxies to bypass geo-blocks (no data storage) Crowdsourced local portal directory Would love feedback from globetrotting hackers!
