Show HN: Geoguess Lite – open-source, subscription free GeoGuessr alternative
spider-hand Monday, January 12, 2026Hi HN,
I built and just released another Geoguessr alternative. The difference from most other games (and the official one) is that it doesn't use Google Maps APIs at all, which makes the game more sustainable while keeping the service free.
This is the successor project to a Geoguessr-like game I built a long time ago. I've been learning since then and felt I could design and implement the project in a cleaner way this time. That motivation led me to rebuild it from scratch.
If you’re a light user who’s hesitant about paying for a subscription and looking for an alternative, feel free to give it a try. I’d really appreciate any feedback.
