@neceros Focus of my project is more about displaying/exporting to SVG a map from data of the real world, rather than making the map itself. Azgaar’s fantasy map generator is a really great thing :)

@sprusr nice. I'd love this for bigger maps, like countries or worlds. RPG stuff. right now i use azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Ge…

Been building a vector map rendering library from scratch. It’s called mewmap and it’s powered by SVG tech built-in to browsers. That allows for pretty small bundle size

I started this as a fun project, but the more I’m working on it the more it feels like something serious, legit good alternative for 90% of web map use cases

Doing a talk next week at HelsinkiJS meetup about maps on the web. Bit of history, bit of future. Hopefully interesting and entertaining!

Would probably be best to link to a demo but I didn’t have time to prepare one right now 😅

I put together some vector tiles from the new data (for using on web/mobile apps) and a style to go with them gist.github.com/sprusr/ab2adfe…

After that something I’m excited to explore is server-side rendering + possible lightweight isomorphic React wrapper ⚡️

I have a small roadmap in the GitHub readme, but next focuses are: - Symbols (text and icons) - Rendering from geojson (custom markers) - Bunch of work to support full Maplibre/Mapbox style spec

Now with raster (satellite) layers working in mewmap 🌍 I think I could probably ship a raster-only version in just a few kb bundle size 🤔

Can try it out at spru.sr/mewmap but beware it still has a bit of jank in Safari/iOS to figure out

General consensus from over here is that it looks a bit goofy with the directives. But will be trying it out and seeing whether I can get it to play nice in cloudflare workers

@Jade_Pickering @emfcamp I’m so pleased you find it useful!

Honestly @sprusr is my hero for creating pollen.party - thank you for demo'ing at @emfcamp because this site is now my #hayfever bible. Should I go outside today? Absolutely not.

Moving to Tokyo tomorrow. That’s pretty cool.

Scariest tiles in monopoly in 2022

Going to EMF next week, and also happen to have a spare ticket from a friend who can no longer make it. Free to a good home! 😄

@joakimhi It’s actually really good, having games work hasn’t actually been a problem (above was me playing around). Would recommend 👍

@sprusr whats the honest review

The Steam Deck is really good

@hiMaisie I’m sure I do! I’ll take a look later
