Great work, but in my opinion using Flask for full-stack, end-to-end web development is wrong. A microframework should never be used as an end-all-be-all. By the time you're done you've added god knows how many external dependenci

Ended up writing my own (more-or-less API-compatible) GeoIP server after the free Telize service shut down: https://github.com/kz26/balise

Hmm, so in addition to their existing problems with acute lead poisoning, they now have to deal with chronic lead poisoning.

This was the impetus to develop my own self-hosted GeoIP server: https://github.com/kz26/balise It seems that self-hosting is the way to go - there's simply no incentive to run a free public API due to freeloaders
