I once heard a really unique orientation talk about http://www.volksnav.com – based on the idea of polar coordinates like on an imagined clock dial flat on earth centered at your local reference point (e.g. city center) and 12 o

I have to mention Geohash because it's easy to spell, licence free, variable precision, what else? Plug: https://demo.mro.name/geohash.cgi That said, having familiar words in your (local?) alphabet is charming. But for

Even if 0% free you'll have to do the opt-in anyway, or how on earth will you figure out if the recipient wants your email? It's hard to be smart with something like names.

Actually email validation is simple: do the opt-in. If confirmed, it's valid.

Wonderful write. Back in 2009 there was a 5-minute Apple video "how to design great apps" that focussed on empathy and a precise goal (app definition statement). It disappeared from the website somewhen. Am pulling my hair out for

Homer didn't need rich text to write the Trojan War. Neither did Shakespeare, nor Ovid for their writing. My emails are way less ambitioned and are fine written in poor text.
