Comment on Show HN: An API to encode and decode coordinates using Geohashparent

Comments

How much messing around would there be though?

The first hit for a geohash gem (I'm a ruby guy) returns a github page where the instructions to use are pretty much an include statement and then encode/decode statements.

I don't mean to be harsh, but I have a big problem with APIs where libraries would do, and I think many consider network hops to be too cheap and available. The Sr Engineer in me would never allow a project to make calls over a network unless absolutely necessary.
