Switch from geonames to whosonfirst #30

Open ufukk opened 9 months ago

Hello. I wrote a small library of places: https://github.com/ufukk/plaincities. I used geonames' csv files but then recently discovered your own very extensive data archive. I am thinking about switching from geonames to whosonfirst because your data look more fresh and geonames have only boundary data for countries. I browsed your repos but couldn't find much useful. My idea is to allow the user to load the places separately based on hierarchy and location. Maybe you might have comments, advice or warnings. Thanks.
