• Hold on to your BAT, great news from Brave

  Brave is implementing a free video call function into their popular Brave browser: Https://together.brave.com/ Together with news about the incoming brave search those are very good news! I believe strongly in that project and I think they are on a good way to be able to offer a complete package of privacy centered features. Source: about 3 years ago

• Brave Together video call

  I can confirm it's going to come out. Coming along very well and will be released in the near future. You can already start accessing it at https://together.brave.com, and it is surfaced more prominently in test/experimental versions of the browser (such as Brave Nightly). Source: about 3 years ago

• Brave needs to be better at advertising some of its features / utilities

  But Brave also needs to be better about having features and utilities more apparent and clear on its website. Apparently they have their own encrypted video platform https://together.brave.com/ which I had no idea existed. By just adding it to the website under the features I could have been utilizing this for months. Source: about 3 years ago

• Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API

  As the developer of this system, I concur with this; Protomaps is focused on map tiles, and can be used with other solutions such as http://geocode.earth for search. A small detail: I don't believe this is the absolute cheapest way to deliver map tiles. Renting an unmetered bandwidth server is always going to be the cheapest way to host content, but unmanaged servers don't give you SSL termination, infinite... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is there a free version / alternative of google places api?

  The honest truth is that google places is simply the best in the world, and the 2nd place is far behind. that's probably foursquare. After that, mapbox, then mapquest, then https://geocode.earth/. All of those are paid. Source: about 2 years ago

• Mantle – Serverless Maps Using Lambda or Cloudflare Workers

  The stack I describe in the post is only for map tiles - Map tiles are a good fit for CDNs because the input space is small (just Z/X/Y coordinates on a square grid) and thus very cacheable. Geocoding is a very different problem because the input space - human language - is much, much larger, and answering queries quickly to support features like autocomplete really requires a server with hot data in memory. One... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Positionstack (by APILayer) Geocoding-API down for over 14 days, with no ETA

  If anyone comes across this looking for an alternative, we can help at Geocode Earth (https://geocode.earth). We're a small independent company that has been working on geocoding since 2013, first as part of Mapzen(https://mapzen.com), and then with our own self-funded business after Mapzen shut down at the start of 2018. Our core software, the Pelias Geocoder (https://pelias.io) is open source, and ironically we... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Should you contribute open data to OpenStreetMap for free?

  Here is why you should contribute to OSM even though there are major players profiting from it: OSM is big enough and good enough that all the tech giants (except Google) would do better to start with OSM and improve it to meet their needs than to start a new, completely proprietary map from scratch. That means that we are in an amazing place where in addition to the substantial volunteer OSM community, there are... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
