Show HN: A Simple Server to Match Long/Lat to a TimeZone

Hacker News - Tue, 05/20/2025 - 5:43pm

I figured this might be useful to folks.

It's a simple PHP server that requires a single-table database (It's fairly "agnostic," but all my uses are in MySQL).

I won't publish any of the servers that I've set up for my apps, because someone is bound to write an application that drives my bandwidth into the stratosphere.

I could definitely take it further, but this gives me all I need for my purposes.

Here's an app I wrote, that uses it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/we-are-never-alone/id650482602...

Show HN: I made IP-to-Geo location data library for developers

Hacker News - Tue, 05/20/2025 - 4:48pm

I made this lib called Ip2Geo — it's a super-lightweight, type-safe library that lets you convert any IP into geolocation data. It's 100% free with unlimited uses—no catch. It works online only and runs on both the client and server.
