Hey Product Hunt! šŸ‘‹ Excited to share SmartAddress.IO with you all. This has been a year in the making. Existing addresses suck worldwide. Whether it's meeting people, getting deliveries, accessing emergency services, opening bank accounts, or registering to vote, bad addresses are an everyday problem for billions of people. Solutions like what3words or Google Plus Codes attempt to solve it but they are unintuitive to people because they look like random words or confusing codes. And so, SmartAddress.IO is providing intuitively simpler addresses worldwide. āœ”ļø Simpler all-new addresses for every square meter šŸ’Æ Intuitive like street addresses šŸŽÆ Doorstep accuracy šŸ—£ Localizable to different languages šŸŽØ You can even customize addresses! Smart addresses have many use-cases. E.g., precise addresses for meeting people, delivery addresses to your doorstep, drone delivery addresses to your backyard, addresses to unaddressed people, addresses to badly addressed neighborhoods, etc. - the list goes on. Special community offer: Want a personalized address to your home or business? Get one for your doorstep, backyard or just about any place. Absolutely FREE for first 1000 users. Thanks @chrismessina for insightful product feedback in the early stages. šŸ™Œ
@chrismessina @sekhar_chandra I noticed that the smart address for my home (one of the many addresses I should say) has 2 numbers to remember: A 4-digit house number and a 5-alphanumeric zipcode plus some words also Would it be easier to perhaps do Latitude/Longitude and socialize it? I noticed that 5 decimal places for both lat/lon should suffice and bring it to good usability. https://gis.stackexchange.com/qu... I don't mean this as harsh criticism. I just want you and your team to be successful! =) P.S. I'm also from India and I'm used to seeing relative addresses like "Near Sai Baba Temple" or worse "Near Old Banyan Tree" =P
@chrismessina @sekhar_chandra Two important reasons I suggest using GPS co-ordinates are - It's already designed for this purpose to locate locations with a required level of precision - More success for your product because there is no question of vendor lock-in or proprietary logic.

@chrismessina @selvin_george Near Sai Baba Temple" or worse "Near Old Banyan Tree" šŸ˜‚ You're right - GPS coords can become mainstream. But, they probably won't ever get there because remembering 10-14 digit numbers is way harder for humans. One digit wrong, you could be off by 100s of miles. Smart addresses are designed to be human-friendly because combination of numbers & words is easier to remember than just plain numbers. For instance, a smart address such as, "@1201 TESLA DRIVE 3, San Francisco, CA" is way easier to remember than 37.3382, 121.8863 . In many ways, smart addresses are like US-style street addresses to the whole world - for every square meter!

The 5-alphanumeric zipcode is meant to be an international area code. It is completely optional in a smart address. And, the words are "customizable". For instance, your smart address could be as simple as "@1234 TESLA PARK 56, Mumbai, India". You can, in fact, omit the last 2-digits "56". But, the smart address accuracy drops down to 25 meters which still is accurate enough to find the exact location.

@izvera Thanks, Izvera. 1 in 20 packages can't be delivered because of a bad addresses. And, 4B+ people don't even have a formal delivery address. We are looking to change that with our solution & make deliveries easier for everyone worldwide.
