ip2loc is a simple tool which visualizes location data for a given IP address using the Google Maps API. I created it for a few reasons:
- Most sites that do this charge or are clunky
- I wanted to write a simple application with Sinatra
- It was a good excuse to sharpen my jQuery skills
- Boredom
ip2loc is powered by Ruby, written in TextMate, and deployed with Passenger on DreamHost.
