Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

SwissReach is a browser-based isochrone map tool that uses the RAPTOR algorithm to compute reachable stations by Swiss public transport from any origin, entirely client-side. It combines a polished SBB-inspired UI with real-time routing, multi-language support, and shareable URLs, making it a practical and well-crafted tool for commuters and relocators. Its use of minotor for in-browser routing and H3 hexagon binning is an innovative approach to offline-capable transit planning.

Target audience: commuters, urban planners, travelers, transit enthusiasts
