This sounds very nice! A slightly adjacent question: have you discovered any providers that can recommend train journeys based on price? Sort of like the explore feature you find on sites like Google Flights, Ryanair and Flixbus. Sometimes when the wanderlust hits I've tried searching around for cheap train tickets, but it isn't simple using sites likes DB/OEBB/SBB/SNCF/etc

https://raileasy.co.uk / https://trainsplit.com is the most flexible existing service I've found, but even that doesn't give you an "anywhere" option.
I'm looking at how to add price data to railraptor, but it might mean sacrificing the fully-offline capability... once I have prices it should absolutely be possible to build a filter along the lines of "find me the cheapest popular destinations that are at least 50 miles away".
