Show HN: The Polyglot's Atlas – Interactive world map for language learners

I built a website that let's you create a mop of the languages you speak/are learning. Data is mostly pulled from the CIA world fact book via python (package worldfactbook).

Posting now, as backend issues are finally resolved and the site is up and working!

Any feedback and ideas for features that would make it more useful to you are most welcome :)
