Place Match Board

Compare places as status cards and find places that fit your life, work, travel, and experiments.

Place Match Board is a small RDB-driven experiment. Places are treated as records, scores are treated as variables, and your preferences become a matching function.

Place Match Board

Places are records. Scores are variables. Your weights become a matching function.

Choose a play mode, switch the visible layer, or enter through a tag.

Play modes

Do not start from conditions. Start from a mood, a body state, or a way of seeing the world.

Balanced Mode Look at all variables lightly. A neutral first scan of the world. Recovery Mode For when the body needs hot springs, softness, recovery, and less pressure. Creative Mode For culture, experiments, chance encounters, and strange fertile collisions. Light Living Mode For lighter cost, freedom, recovery, and a life that does not feel overbuilt. Urban Access Mode For airports, stations, city energy, culture, and easier movement. Weirdness Hunt Mode For odd atmospheres, chance, freedom, and places that do not flatten too easily.

View level

Switch the visible layer. The same world can be viewed at different depths.

All match targets Show every place currently marked as a match target. Municipality Show city, town, and village level records. Area / District Show smaller-than-city areas such as districts, station areas, and neighborhoods. Onsen Area Show hot spring area records only.
