Not sure about this; I would prefer to include "choropleth map"

Suggested change

	{bdg-info-line}`airbnb`
	{bdg-info-line}`choropleth map`

Yeah, I could use some advice on what tags/badges to add. My current thought process is to include:

• bdg-primary: pygmt or gmt
• bdg-primary-line: GMT module used (e.g. coast, plot, etc)
• bdg-info: External library used (e.g. pandas, xarray)
• bdg-secondary-line: GMT remote-dataset used (e.g. earth_relief, earth_age, etc)

The {bdg-info-line}`airbnb` here was intended to show external non GMT remote-datasets used, but I do agree that having AirBnB here looks weird. We could maybe add some tags for concepts being taught such as choropleth-map as you suggested, or scatterplot, etc.

Yep, I got your main idea behind the structure of these tags / badges and I definitely like this idea! And I think mentioning special concept / specific visualization is a good addition.

Even the file contains "airbnb" currently the column “population” is used for the choropleth-map (there are a lot of different columns / quantities in this dataset).
