Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners

·1 views

I recently discovered by accident that our website was being blocked by Orange's security filters. After a quick check, I found that our IP address is listed on UCEPROTECT Level 3.

30 Japanese Names With Kanji, Meanings, and JavaScript Data

If you're building a game, character generator, username tool, writing app, or simply working with Japanese names, you may eventually need structured Japanese name data.
