• 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 We Went from 46 to 99 Performance Score to Improve Our Website Speed

  There are some handy tools for identifying and addressing problematic bundles. One of them, Bundlephobia, gives insights into how much an NPM package contributes to bundle size, helping avoid too large collections of files. Import Cost, a VSCode Extension, calculates the 'cost' of imported packages, helping to make informed decisions. As part of our optimization strategy, we've swapped out hefty JS libraries, such... - Source: dev.to / 18 days ago

• JavaScript Habits That Grind My Gears

  So, before adding a dependency to your projects, ask yourself if you truly need it and check how much a package weighs. If you would like to go through cleaning up process, I wrote an article on optimizing Next.js bundle size on my private blog. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• 3 online tools to use for selecting a future-proof NPM library for frontend and Nodejs projects

  🔴 https://bundlephobia.com/ - estimate a footprint, basically how many Kb will be added to your bundle when you add this dependency to your project. Those may differ a lot, try comparing say - dayjs vs momentjs ;. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Tiptap vs remirror installation sizes

  I have phobia of dependencies and package sizes, so tiptap is 62KB and remirror is 150KB. Not much difference, since difference is no in MB's. Source: 10 months ago

• Add stepper components to your React app

  External packages increase your app bundle size (you can calculate this using BundlePhobia), so adding a third-party package for every development requirement isn’t always a good choice. Also, third-party packages may not completely fulfill your design requirements and may bring features that you don’t even use. Writing your own stepper component is also an option by including only the required features. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
