Hi, not a problem at all.
You are 100% right, it is very tricky to achieve accuracy, that's the main reason why I am using Maxmind at this early stage.
Also, I am not trying to compete with MaxMind, they are too big to even try that. All the additional datapoints I expose are meant to help customers to protect and enrich their website and services.
Timezones, currency, etc, might be an added value, and there might be a market for the convenience you add. Your timing might be better than others, who knows.
I also understand you must have put in considerable effort in what I would still call a "frontend". I wish you best of luck!
