Apparently the richest (and also smallest) man on this planet has used the 2017 brutal murder of my predecessor, Zaida Catalán, to make a cheap point.
Here’s the truth he’ll never tell you.

Suicidal empathy is killing Western Civilization. It is good to have empathy, but we cannot allow our empathy to be abused to the point of extinction!

@TweetsOfSumit @nuxt_js Check out Reka UI, it’s an unstyled component library. Nuxt UI is built on it, seems pretty robust.
English

What’s the best UI library for @nuxt_js?
I tried shadcn-vue but can’t get over installation errors.
Nuxt UI is not a fit from a style perspective.
Back to tailwind UI or are there other libraries for styled components?

I continue in my attempt to cycle every local street near where I live. I now have to ride about 5 miles to get somewhere new and today’s ride required 45 miles just to cover that lil chunk. I call it @Strava heatmapping.

@ubilabs Are the demos built with cesium? Will the regular Google js library be able to render 3d tiles too?
English

Photorealistic 3D Tiles are now in Preview! Check out our demo for @GMapsPlatform to see the possibilities:

@_benjamintd @Mapbox Good tips in this thread already, but you can also look into @StadiaMaps. Their pricing is really competitive if their features matches your needs.
English

I'm soon going to have to pay my first @Mapbox invoice 🥲
Unfortunately 5$/1000 visits is unsustainable for an ad-supported website.
Thinking of moving to Maplibre. What's a cheap way to serve a simple background map?
Frequent updates and detail at high zooms unnecessary.
English

@ae_play Ooh I want this but in a running app. Always wanted to embark on a mission of running down every street in London. Too hard to manually track
English

I actually want this, to gamify exploration.
Not “make addictive” gamify,
But “add sense of wonder” gamify.

Google Maps but it has Fog of War for places you haven’t yet visited
English

@anders_wikstrom Yes! We already allow this via the management API and plan to make this possible in the dashboard as well.

A few updates to kick off the week 👇
⏰ We've updated our Time Zone API to reflect the latest changes around the world.
💳 Our quest to make maps more accessible continues! We've simplified billing based on your feedback. Read more: stadiamaps.com/news/announcin…

@stevage1 Ah, I thought you meant hosting of ready-made tiles. Nope, don't think they do.
English

@anders_wikstrom Do they actually do hosting of custom vector tiles? I can't see it.
English

Is there a list of commercial vector tile hosting services anywhere? In addition to Mapbox and Maptiler, I know there a couple of others but can't remember their names off the top of my head. #gischat
English

@MapScaping Congrats! You've done the hardest part already.
English

@anders_wikstrom We do plan to add some themes with hillshading. No timelines to share at this point, but stay tuned! 🏔️
We will add demos (unofficial theme support) sooner, though.
English

📚🗺️ Introducing Stadia Maps Tilesets, extra datasets for when your map styles need just a little extra pizazz. Available for all paid tiers and doesn't count against tile usage.
➡️ docs.stadiamaps.com/tilesets/
Are we missing data sets you'd like to use? Let us know!
English

@TweetsOfSumit Got it! Yeah it's not a small one. And it might be even more complex to build for mapbox than leaflet i suspect. I'm just annoyed that mapbox seem to have abandoned mapbox-gl-draw entirely.
English

@anders_wikstrom Thought about it, but too high risk without having the first signed customers who want it. I'm not going to do the (immense) work without the first customers ready to pay.
English

Geoman.io just crossed 5k MRR 🚀
I now work with two people to have this going and grow it:
someone in sales and a dev.
We're finally nailing down the sales process to be efficient and successful.
Again: MAYBE we can get it to 10k MRR this year. MAYBE.
