Hi, thanks for your comment and the link to your Geocoder. I think it's exactly the use case that I faced several times in the past.

I just saw that the Geocoder API is free with certain limitations. If I find some free time, I would like to create an enricher for it. Maybe it can help your clients (and other people of course) to save some time :)

Bootstrap 4 alpha 11 years ago

Nice job, Bootstrap saved me so much time already. It really helps by getting the job done! However, in most of my projects I just used the grid.

Thank you for the feedback. You're right, if the images are not yet cached it takes a while. First I pulled thoses images via Google Image Search but the results were not satisfiable but neither it's now. I'll take a look on better techniques.

Timer is decreasing and you got +2 seconds if you answer right.

Scoreboard is (now) legit ;)

I think it really depends on what kind of data is stored. For something like a chat it is a really nice solution in my opionion. If you have to apply complex queries and need full control over your data I would recommend a "real" backend.

For instance, we use Firebase for our community feed on http://spotpot.co but I would not use it to store user accounts there. In the end it is always a trade off but consider that for heavy real time applications a service like firebase can not only be convenient but also save you load on your infrastructure.
