Nice work! I really like the minimal homepage.

One small suggestion, when someone clicks the 'Try It' button and it scrolls to the address input have it focus the input for the user.

I've actually been needing the exact opposite of this tool lately. I have a bunch of lat lon pairs that I need turned into addresses. Any plans to add reverse geocoding any time soon?

The input focus would be a good usability upgrade - thanks. It does actually do reverse geocoding as well, but there is not "try-it" feature for that part of the API yet. The docs for that functionality are here - https://latlon.io/documentation#reverse-geocode. What specific type of info are you looking to get when turning those lat/lon pairs into addresses?
Oh nice, I guess I didn't get that far in the docs. Actually, for my use case this would be perfect. I just need the city, state and zip.
