Could you resolve cities/countries to continents? the use-case is quite simple: if you are open to working in all of Europe or all of Northern America, it would be great to search for 'Europe' or 'Northern America' etc.

This isn't possible at the moment on the regular thread :/

I've been working on another one of those apps. It's a real pain in the ass to get accurate location. Both NER or regex location extraction and geocoding services can be slow and inaccurate in variety of ways. The way that brought me the most success is regex and a tabulated file with city names, coordinates and some other info. In either case, there's manual labor involved in finding false positives and negatives.
