• 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

• How Profile Enrichment can boost your product

  For profile enrichment with Authgear, you create a Hook that could call an external API such as FullContact and Clearbit to grab some data and then put any extra information into the User Profile that every user gets when they sign up through Authgear. You could also integrate that data with the profile custom attributes of existing users who are logging in but are missing that information. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Getting Your Developers to See Value With a Great Developer Experience

  Leveraging an extension like Clearbit will help you surface the relevant demographic information, such as role, industry, and company size. This will then allow you to zero in on who is likely to be your next best customer. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Legality and ethics question about a feature I saw on a website

  I inspected the site a bit and it looks like they're using https://clearbit.com/ to get the company data. Personally I don't feel there is any ethical issue however everyone has their own opinions. It definitely feels a bit creepy. Source: almost 2 years ago

• An Post and Ordnance Survey Ireland are selling intimate personal data about all of us - Irish Council for Civil Liberties

  No, I'm just a realist about it. I've worked in ecommerce for ~15 years and been invovled with massive implementations (Companies of scale such as Walmart) Part of my job is to understand and implement these tracking tools. I've seen them all, both from a European perspective (Where GDPR is a line that they all regularly cross) and a US context (Absolute wild west, anything goes in terms of data collection) Take a...
