   Great for finding potential contacts

   A great tool to help you discover the technology being used by a variety of websites. I was impressed that upon signing up that I had full access to a free list of leads.

• 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 / about 1 year ago

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

• Mantle – Serverless Maps Using Lambda or Cloudflare Workers

• 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

  There's a plugin called React Dev Tools that changes color (and other stuff) on React sites. There's also a really fun tool called builtwith (it doesn't work on reddit, but works on lots of other sites). Source: 6 months ago
