Unlocking the Future of SaaS with AI and Self-Hosting
At Screenly, we’ve pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in SaaS with our latest experiment: recreating ipgeolocation.io with Cursor and Claude Opus 4.5 in under two hours—using Rust! 🚀
The Challenge:
- Apps often rely on geolocation for timezone detection and analytics.
- Existing services come with API rate limits and recurring costs.
Our Innovative Solution:
- A self-hosted, drop-in replacement that requires zero external API calls.
- Response times are blazing fast—sub-millisecond for cached lookups!
Key Features:
- Zero External Dependencies: Includes necessary datasets within a 17MB binary.
- Robust API Compatibility: Supports both simple and rich metadata formats.
- Minimal Attack Surface: Built for security with a CVE-free base.
With AI revolutionizing the field, now is the time to rethink traditional SaaS economics.
