Show HN: I made IP-to-Geo location data library for developers

I made this lib called Ip2Geo — it's a super-lightweight, type-safe library that lets you convert any IP into geolocation data. It's 100% free with unlimited uses—no catch. It works online only and runs on both the client and server.
This conflicts with the "for now" on the linked page. I would also recommend actually explaining how it works in the "How it works?" section, instead of hand-waving it away with "we convert it on our service and collaborate with other services." I also cannot find a privacy policy anywhere.

Also, this link on your NPM page simply redirects to a mostly-empty Github profile.
As currently presented, I do not find this service trustworthy.
You might want to expand on what you mean by "IP geolocation" and exactly how you are creating your mapping from IP to geographic location.
There are other models. I'd be surprised if they do any triangulation (for instance) because it's success rate in finding errors or misreporting in the above is low, unless you are Akamai and have 400+ points of BGP to get closest match from.
Free and unlimited is going to be a tough deal to maintain forever if it gets popular. Good luck!

Plus, your IP will always have at least a sovereign state due to the ASN associated.
