A proprietary database that you can contribute to but can’t download, that they then dual-license for cash. Someone, please build an open alternative.

- lozaning 2y agowe like it this way but thanks
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoI mean, why?
- glidergun 2y agoThis is the reason I stopped contributing eventually. Can't download the db, API limits so low you can exhaust them with a couple exploratory queries, and a small group of people getting overly defensive when asked about it. I don't mind working for free, but this sucked the fun out of it.
- RealStickman_ 2y agoMaybe this project? https://beacondb.net/ https://beacondb.net/
- _lvbh 2y agoAlso can't download afaik. I do like it more since it at least tries to preserve the privacy of those scanned
- fullspectrumdev 2y agoPretty much exactly why I stopped contributing. Even as a contributor the API is unusable due to limits.
