Is it possible to implement this feature:

After a user publishes a thread or reply, automatically detect the location based on their current IP address and display it below their avatar in the thread/post—instead of requiring users to manually select it or set it in their profile.

I am willing to provide paid support for this.

Just like ZHIHU.
