I haven't really had a detailed look into it yet but at a glance it looks really impressive. I wonder what it would take to build a client library. I see that there is an erlang client for it so I might look into that in my own time and see if I can get an idea of what is going on.

It is a little outside of what I had in mind for this example but I will look into it and see if maybe it's something that we could have an example on how to incorporate it into a project.

@nelsonic Have you used it before?

@RobStallion haven't used it before just discovered it this morning. I know this example postcode lookup is meant to be an introductory one, so worth staying focussed on that goal.

Perhaps it's worth linking to Tile38 in a "further reading" section in the Readme?
