Ridiculous that postcodes/uprns lookups are not open data (yet). hohum.

They are in the UK but you have to have some magic understanding of around 15 separate files. Seems to be purposefully difficult.

NL as well, but the source data has a couple of indirections before you get to the postcode.

It's doable, monthly updatable for free, but requires a bit of processing and understanding of the geo structures.


I'm working on AI voice agents here in the UK for real estate professionals, unfortunately I couldn't try your service.


We forgot to enable non-US numbers in our config for the demo. (oops)

We're working on a fix right now!


What’s the name of your product / business?


Should be fixed now; could you try again please?


Amazing stuff, love coming back to speccy code.


Jack, it's amazing. Very impressive stuff.


although I'm not a video editor I was served up a video on Youtube from one of their old brand ambassadors, I watched three of his video's. They've created a bit of a PR nightmare coming across as a big bully, even to the point of issuing DMCA take down notices.


FIlmora Buckles Under Public Pressure! (but issues a threat) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy1HiWGchMg


And their threat, as claimed in the video, is that of legal action against those posting on social media for what they're claiming is false and misleading information.

It does kind of sound like they're targeting that guy for calling them out.


Glad I came to the comments, it's amazing.


If you want a x-platform VB like RAD take a look at XOJO.


That brings back memories. I got a copy of that when it was called REALbasic and distributed on MacFormat magazine cover CDs.

Sufficiently compatible with VB that I wrote some coursework on it for a teacher who only knew VB.


It looks like Xojo is based on REALbasic as http://www.realsoftware.com/ redirects to https://www.xojo.com/.


Yeah they renamed it maybe 10 years ago (it’s pronounced Zo Joe). It’s a fast compiled BASIC like OOP language that runs natively on x86 and ARM.


I’ve been a happy user of Xojo (formally RealBasic) for about 20 years. It’s really powerful and free to use when getting started. I really like the all-in-one IDE and the ability to cross compile for macOS, Windows and Linux. Their desktop support is pretty good. Their iOS and web support not such much however. I think it’s a shame they are not more well known


It's now throwing a permissions error, guessing they don't want you to know their standards ;)

Agreed, I think the PDF should be created at the same size of the original image. Or at least have an option to do so.


Great tool, thanks OP for sharing.
