I run a website that shows immigrants how to settle in Berlin.

These days I'm thinking of codifying more things, so that people could fill a form and get answers instead of reading a long article. For example, a simple calculator that replaces pages and pages of information. I made a German health insurance calculator last week that saves a lot of reading and gives accurate results.

Aside from that, I'm building a timeline thing that puts all the personal data I can get my hands on onto a browsable timeline. It's a sort of enhanced journal.

As an immigrant who switched between several countries, I must tell that this is an amazing project.

The simplest and "obvious" guides are often the most helpful, and hard to find.

I wish every city has a similar website with the most basic instructions.

I know how it feels. I started that website out of frustration, and it kept growing as I learned new things.

This is really great. Aesthetically simple and clear website where all things are listed in one place. Great work!

All About Berlin (https://allaboutberlin.com/).

Looks nice and helpful.

The next step is allaboutgermany.something, where you can have a template and change just some details regarding the city or land.
