Because I love building APIs and backend services, I built a simple IP geolocation service with the best developer experience. It has free (rate-limited) access and affordable paid tiers. Check it out: https://ip-sonar.com

This is cool - how does IP geolocation work? How do you know that xyz IP is at this particular spot?

Edit: I see you are using MaxMind database - do you add some sort of additional analytics or overlay on top of that?

At this moment, I'm still very early with the service, I don't do any serious data crunching on my end (but I plan to).
