| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | * infinisil: it seems that getting a google API key requires entering credit card information, which makes it not so easy to follow along with this: | 21:09:49 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | what i'll do for now to follow the tutorial is change the map/geocode scripts so that they emit dummy information to stdout, rather than make actual API calls | 21:10:32 |

bzm3r: Yeah it sucks a lot. We didn't have the resources to rewrite it into something more open no worries at all, I'll submit a PR if I can something simpler.
I don't know much about open map APIs, so I want to be careful about not opening up another rabbithole...is there one that you recommend?

 proofconstruction | OpenStreetMap is the gold standard here; converting that tutorial to use it would be a huge service | 07:15:14 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | Sounds good. I can work towards that. I ultimately ended up going through that entire tutorial without running the examples, so I think I am in an okay position to try and make that conversion | 11:20:28 |
