Self-hosted free geoip service
Hi HN, I wanted to share this simple python app that you can host using App engine and get a free geoip service. It's pretty easy to limit it to the free quota and run without costs. You can't query for a specific IP address but it becomes super useful if you can make that request from the user's side (browser, app, etc). It only has access to lat, long, city, country, ip address but I find those to be the most useful data points. Hope this helps.
Self-hosted free geoip service launched on January 9, 2024 with 5 votes and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.

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…
