I'm missing some information on why they made it, when other solutions already exist. Also, what's the data source? Is it using LIR databases or something else?
I guess the biggest caveat with using this database, is that the terms require you to provide attribution. I don't know how this compares to other data sources.
Does this look suspiciously similar to every other vibecoded website, or am I just paranoid? They've even got the useless comments in the HTML (despite it seemingly being minified?):

...you get the point
Good start. And yeah, as the other commenter already kinda noted, this is kinda devoid of any details.
It’s not very precise, is it? It doesn’t seem to include a city or even region, only country. I guess might be useful for geoblocking.
