Agloe. A geocoder written in Go that runs in the browser.
Hello, Gophers!
I've been working on this side project for a while now, and I'm finally ready to show it to you.
It's POC for a geocoder that is written in Go that processes all the parsing, indexing, and querying in the browser thanks to WebAssembly.
In the live version it reads a PBF file of the Riga's old town, so it's possible to only search for stuff within those borders, however, it can be configured to use any other location as well.
You can check out the live version here: agloe.vercel.app, and, of course, there's also source code here.
It's not meant to be anything more than an interesting idea, but I was intrigued by how plausible this actually was.

ALGO is behaving weird, almost responding randomly to BTC price changes... or maybe on its own. I am now more interested in coins other than AGLO until I see it behave more predictably.
