Arcadia - Find the place that fits you.

by•
Seven years to decide where to live: spreadsheets, Notion tables, tabs never closed. Every "best places" list gave me the same thirty cities, none an answer to my life. Traveling taught me each place brings out a different version of you. So I built Arcadia: thirty questions, then it compares 3,582 places worldwide, mostly small towns and islands no list ever names. The first 50 people unlock their results free with code PH. Would love to hear what you think, and where it sends you.

It took me seven years to decide where to live. Spreadsheets, Notion tables, browser tabs I never closed. Traveling taught me that every place brings out a different version of you, and I wanted to find where I'd be my best one. So I built it myself: thirty honest questions, then it compares 3,582 real places across every country, mostly small towns and islands no list ever names. CODE: PH (for the first 50 people) I will may add more in more comments. The first 50 people to unlock their results for free. Would love to hear what you think, and where it sends you.

Which Vercel product did you use? What new capability did it give your team, and how did that shape the product you launched?

We use Next.js's OG Image Generation (next/og, running on Vercel) to render social preview cards at request time instead of designing them by hand. Arcadia has 3,582 real places across 11 languages, so hand-making share cards was never an option, we needed the card for a page to exist the moment the page did. Vercel caches each generated image like a static asset, so it costs nothing after the first render. That capability is what let us ship real, localized "here's the place" cards for every single result instead of one generic homepage image, which matters a lot for a product people discover by sharing a specific match, not by browsing a catalog.
