I've been working on https://skaldmaps.com/ for a while.
Lets you explore, filter, and rank locations (ZIP/counties/tracts) in the US to find places to move to and/or invest in. ~470 attributes with tons of customization (e.g., distance to work or the nearest hospital) and a ton of custom attributes (so it's not just an ACS viewer :-) ).
Based on a prototype/real need I had when I purchased my current house. Generic "Top 10 ZIP codes" aren't all that helpful (unless you fit that exact niche) and existing tools were either hyper focused on institutional investors (that want to build a subdivison whether it makes sense to live there or not), unaffordable, or both.
Since it's HN, stack is React/MapLibre/go backend + tile cache, data work is done largely in DuckDB.
