🔨 Has hammer, sees nails. The origin for building, Standard Sets.

The idea for Standard Sets spawned while working on a couple projects where I was scripting actions from a data source that had U.S. State information in full name format, but the script required both full name and two-letter code support, depending on the context. Unfortunately, updating the 100k+ entries in the data source was not an easy task, so I had to come up with another solution and Standard Sets was born.

Standards Sets offers complete data sets of common data sources: U.S. States, Countries, Currencies, Locales, and more in the works. And makes it easy to either return those sets in the required format, or quickly exchange one format to another (ex. USD -> $ or New York to NY and vice versa).

Currently the data sets and utilities are available via NPM packages, but the goal is to expand on the sets available, make libraries available for other languages, and potentially expose these sets and transformation capabilities via an API.

I would love to get some feedback to see if people find these helpful, and if they see a path for monetization, either via sponsorships, or by charging for API access and data set support and maintenance.
