Frequently Asked Questions
What does POLAR cost?
Nothing. POLAR is a free piece of software that does not lock you into any sort of infrastructure. You may either download it ↗ directly from our GitHub or load it via package managers like NPM: npm i @polar/client-generic
SUPPORT US If you want to support our ongoing efforts, contact us.
UPDATE US If you use POLAR, tell us! We're always happy to see our library in new environments.
I need more features, what do I do now?
Not all included features are documented on this page. Refer to us or our documentation with any inquiry before putting in work.
Should the feature really not exist, we will find a solution together. POLAR is designed open for extension: You may, at any time, add missing pieces yourself without further ado. We'll also gladly accept commissions to write additional features.
Where do I get map services?
POLAR does not provide backend services, but a map UI. It is designed to work with decentralized geospatial infrastructure. E.g. Hamburg offers a huge pool of geospatial services ↗ for anyone to use.
