• 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?

  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

• Launching a SaaS as an Individual Without a Registered Company Targeting Businesses

  This is common pattern for many of our founders in Micro SaaS HQ. The easiest hack is to use Paddle where Paddle acts as your reseller of SaaS and your customers actually do business with Paddle on record. But if you are just starting, don't worry too much and instead focus on your first sale. Source: 6 months ago

• How to add domain buying and setting dns record functionality in my app?

  You should check OpenSRS and Enom. As you mentioned this is your first project, I would highly recommend you to stay from this kind of things which would be hard sell. There are much smaller saas ideas that you can try to implement that has better demand. Also, please go though some good interviews on FounderBeats which can help you understand the builder ecosystem better. Source: 11 months ago

• Build and then market OR market and then build

  Building in Public will help you on this. Otherwise, if this is your first time trying to sell something, I would suggest you to pick a relatively smaller product and do that. In most cases, it's better to start with landing page, build waitlist, talk to users and then start working on MVP and market in parallel. If you are looking for more simpler ideas, you can checkout SaaS Ideas. Source: 11 months ago
