Amazing work.

One of the biggest issues I had with BI4L was how annoying US-Centric it was. I’m not sure how you can address this issue in the Wiki but you should be aware it does reek of American arrogance :)

I guess at a minimum maybe make some kind of tag or filter for the country?

Is there some intention to eventually open editing up to others? I assume you don’t want to maintain this kind of list to perpetuity.

As someone who's outside of US, I second this!>

I would love to maintain this kind of list in perpetuity!

Also, yes it is very US-Centric because my goal was the best thing that I can buy here. In the US. And to answer your question, it is open for others to edit it. It uses GitHub pages, so you can fork it and make your own. If you think it’s too US-Centric, you can fork it and make your own. Please do, we need more comprehensive guides like this!
