I've seen it but it's buggy and lacking in features. Feels like an afterthought instead of a real product

I wish I had as much faith in myself as you have in me :)

Honestly I would build it if I knew how to properly market it to quickly get users.

Globalping and jsDelivr took years to gain a meaningful user base

Capture developers and funnel them to the Workers platform

Off topic but I wonder when Cloudflare is going to launch their own Docker registry as a product.

I run about 270 servers in verified locations as part of the Globalping network https://globalping.io/users/jimaek so I had plenty of targets to test

I tested against them, as well as other infrastructure I control that is not part of the network, and compared to the ipinfo results as well

I talk a little about it in the article, but the main goal was to build something simple that works as proof of concept.

This brute force approach works much better than I expected as long as you have enough probes and a bit of luck.

But of course there are much better and smarter approaches to this, no doubt!

Yes, most likely there are multiple algorithms that could be used to get better results with fewer probes, but I'm not smart enough to do the math and implement them.
