#openfreemap — Public Fediverse posts

Wow I finally unlocked a ton of knowledge about displaying, styling, manipulating, and embedding maps today thanks to @bart!

I am going to use @maplibre GL JS everywhere from now on.

It’s so simple and fun that in a handful of minutes I managed to add a minimap to pages related to a specific place in my website 👀 (see this commit and this page as reference).

Thanks @internetarchiveeurope for having us 💕

@hakan_geijer I've used https://github.com/brendan-ward/pymgl and https://openfreemap.org/quick_start/ to generate nice static maps before, the liberty style is just json you can edit in maputnik - https://maputnik.github.io/editor?style=https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/liberty

This is super cool, @boramalper! I was looking for a vector alternative to @equipe_umap… Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between #OpenFreeMap and @protomaps?=

@Edent did not know OpenFreeMaps was a thing!

Are you using the public free instance or hosting yourself?

#openfreemap

@owiecc But selfhosting was not technically easy (until now).

Therefore you had to use Google Maps (has free tier, but only with limits - then you need to pay) or other commercial services like Mapbox, etc. 💸

And all that if you just want to show the location of an ice cream stand for a small customer page ;)

Therefore - the goal of #openfreemap is also to show how selfhosting can be done in an easy way https://github.com/hyperknot/openfreemap/blob/main/docs/self_hosting.md

That's why I'm interested in this project 2/

„First month of #OpenFreeMap“:

„Sony Music launched a project using OpenFreeMap; almost all the traffic comes from this single website.“

Oh, that's interesting! 👏

„For a long time,when you wanted to use the map on your website or app, you had to look for a commercial map tile provider and hope your site didn’t become too popular.Otherwise,you might end up with a $10,000 bill“

„There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.This was my idea; I haven’t read about anyone else doing this in production,but it works really well.“
