      I started https://ipinfo.io as a small side project a few years ago, and it has since grown to now handling over 12 billion API requests a month, we have thousands of customers, and we're used by hundreds of thousands of developers. See https://ipinfo.io/about for some more details, or read this interview I did a couple of years ago that has some of the backstory: https://getputpost.co/from-side-project-to-250-million-daily...

      I've recently started expanding the team, and I'm looking for more people with an interest in what we're doing to join the team, part-time or full-time. If you're interested I'd love to chat. Shoot me a mail at ben@ipinfo.io

      Those interested in this topic might be interested in my friend's newsletter about developer experience: https://getputpost.co/

      Yep, it's all in the archive: https://getputpost.co/archive. Might be a little dated now! Hope you enjoy.
