What it does
Why Locations Code? Plus Codes are tied to administrative areas. what3words creates a "Tower of Babel" in location sharing. Locations Code gives you control. It encodes GPS coordinates into a unique, 8-character universal code. ✅ Precise: Arc-second accuracy (30m). ✅ Unmistakable: No 0s or 1s (Base-34). ✅ Logistics-ready: Zero errors in the last-mile delivery chain. Stop guessing. Start delivering. 🚚
Locations Code is an open‑source 8‑character GPS delivery code that adds precise coordinates to any address to reduce failed deliveries and improve accuracy.
Locations Code integrates the address with the GPS coordinates of the delivery point. Secure. Reliable. Open‑source. The customer encodes the exact delivery point into eight characters. They add it to the order, and it appears on the package. The courier decodes it and reaches the same point — with zero interpretation. Direct delivery. No hesitation. No unnecessary waiting. You can try Locations Code right away: acquire the code for your current position, verify its accuracy on the map, and use the application in any of the twenty available languages.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
