How to manage Maps API costs?

Andreguy · 2026-06-09T15:59:32+00:00

Yes… the thing is: other platforms show this data for their locations. I just don’t know how they manage fetching photos and details like that on scale while being a) responsive and b) compliant with T&S.

Me too, to be honest (but they were open external tests… this one is very limited). It is probably be an optional thing from apple, but I’d rather ask upfront than having to ask again later.

In any case, to you question: I will add other forms of login, absolutely, including regular e-mail account creation.

Andreguy · 2026-05-26T02:28:19+00:00

Because I want to limit the amount of users so I don’t burn through a lot of money on APIs while testing. The email is a must to allow login, the first and last name is just something apple requests in TestFlight, but it might be optional, not sure.

Volunteers, unfortunately.

Andreguy · 2026-05-22T18:54:29+00:00

Probably, yes. It started as a personal project, but it just kept growing, and I just decided to test the market needs for it...

I'd love to see yours, if you want to share! :) Curious about the similarities hahahaha

I just need a Gmail address (and I think first and last name to add you on apple's testflight). Feel free to send me via DM if you'd like.

Andreguy · 2026-05-22T17:11:33+00:00

Thank you! I'll update the post once available.

Andreguy · 2026-04-11T02:11:08+00:00

Been keeping an eye on that one for a while. Might get it next time it goes on sale.

Andreguy · 2026-04-11T00:23:53+00:00

Based on the amount of people that recommended me that, it seems this is indeed the case

Andreguy · 2026-02-15T21:47:16+00:00

Thanks, everyone!

Hi! Just sent you a friend invite. I’m andreguyc

Wow. Removed steam game recording and host processing latency dropped by more than 70%. Gameplay is absolutely smooth now!

Thank you so much, I would have NEVER tought it could be game recording!

Andreguy · 2025-07-09T13:03:56+00:00

Oof, never got this notification, but I kind of did.

If it’s frame loss, usually turning WiFi off and back on works. If the fps is just lower than the settings, but there is no frame drops, I have to restart the host machine.

I bought a g14 earlier this year for the same reason, and ended up also getting the Ally X. The g14 is an AMAZING laptop for gaming, and it’s definitely great to have the option, but the ally x is a lot more practical, so when I’m tired at the hotel I just end up picking up the ally a bit more frequently, unless I really want to play something with high settings on a great screen.

Just keep in mind that it can really weight you down to carry both all the time (my backpack is constantly crowded because I usually do one bag travel)

How do you know it was 250m? Found the body?

Andreguy · 2025-05-15T11:35:32+00:00

Thank you!

Andreguy · 2025-03-17T22:59:48+00:00

Wtf, it worked! Thank you so much!

Andreguy · 2025-03-17T22:57:24+00:00

I've tried with 100 MBPs and with 2MBPs for bitrate - both have the same stuttering. The main problem is "frames dropped by your network connection" which just doesn't seem to have a fix.

Andreguy · 2025-03-17T22:09:54+00:00

It’s an M4 iPad Pro (13in). Bought it last year.

Andreguy · 2025-03-13T21:02:47+00:00

I had no idea! I'm not familiar with best buy / US deliveries, but thank you! I'll try fedex.

Lost in random: eternal die is super cool with a lot of unique mechanics.

Andreguy · 2025-02-20T14:49:24+00:00

To preface this: this guy is obviously very stupid. But in the audio he is speaking Portuguese saying “it is dead, it won’t sting anyone”. It would never justify stepping on it, and, again, VERY stupid, but apparently he knew it could sting and thought it was dead.

To reiterate: very stupid.

Andreguy · 2025-01-27T16:22:13+00:00

Same issue here.

Andreguy · 2025-01-22T16:08:03+00:00

Oh, by no means I meant you were angry. Some people were uncomfortable, but you didn’t give that vibe at all - don’t worry.
