Reading the MLS retirement issue[1] it seems that multiple established organizations (e foundation, Graphene) are also interested in providing an alternative service. Does this mean that we're now in a situation where multiple open source location service providers are competing, or is this the only publicly accessible project in this space for now?
This project is cool and all, but seems to just be a one person effort with not a lot of engagement on GitHub[2]. Are you in talks with other people with similar goals to expand and collaborate on the project? Having the backing of an existing developer community could really bring this to the next level.

Edit: the actual project seems to be on Codeberg[3], where there is a bit more engagement from others than the primary dev.

- joelkoen 2y agobeaconDB is currently the only publicly accessible project, but I am currently discussing working together with various other projects and organisations. The project was originally on GitHub, but it has now moved to Codeberg.
