Discussion

20 comments analyzed.

Concerns raised: Map granularity too coarse - country level doesn't capture regional variation within countries, Red-yellow-green color scheme inaccessible for colorblind users, Question framing confusing - unclear if higher percentage means safer or riskier, Practical usability questionable - people wouldn't intentionally leave laptops unattended, Data accuracy and methodology unclear

Feature requests: City or municipality-level granularity instead of country-level, Colorblind-friendly color scheme, Include other metrics like English spoken, water safety, fuel availability, Coffee shop tier list or individual venue ratings
