Shihab Mehboob on Nostr: My biggest bottleneck was figuring out a way to quickly traverse through 100k images ...
My biggest bottleneck was figuring out a way to quickly traverse through 100k images and reverse geocode their locations all in under a minute. The Apple API was rate limited (and would take hours to complete), and all other online APIs had similar issues and were expensive!
In the end I rolled out my own in-house solution that checks against a JSON dataset and uses an R-Tree to quickly and efficiently compare all locations. No other app does this!
