   Great Product!

   I've been looking for an alternative to Algolia Places but the existing solutions are either too expensive or lack worldwide support. Placekit was the right solution for me: simple, efficient, affordable and loved the dashboard design.

   👍 Pros:    Affordable price|Well designed|Simple but powerful

• Mark Zuckerberg tells staff that AI agents haven't progressed enough

  You say you only use open-source and I’m the same way but I’ve asked agents to evaluate open-source alternatives. How is that psychosis? If it’s typescript or JavaScript, I can read the code but if it’s Rust/Go/etc, yeah I get AI to read it and tell me if it can solve my problem or if it has the features I need. It’s actually the whole premise of my open source alternative directory called Opensource Builders[0].... - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• Google Maps is always right… right?

  We recently integrated a new country-state boundary functionality into our PlaceKit API. To estimate performance, we tested our system against the Google Maps API and encountered unexpected anomalies. A manual review of each discrepancy led to an interesting discovery: we traced all anomalies back to Google Maps, offering a glimpse into its occasionally flawed calculations. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
