• Scratching the Itch, Paying the Debt: How Community Keeps Legacy Open Source Projects Alive

  Every developer has that one project that started as a personal solution and unexpectedly found a life of its own. For me, that was FastKML, a library I built in 2012 to “scratch my own itch.” I needed to embed maps into a website, and at the time, KML was the de facto standard for visualizing geospatial data on the web. GeoJSON existed but was still in its infancy and unsupported by OpenLayers, which was then the... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• OpenStreetMap's software ecosystem and tools

  Unlike commercial products like Google Maps, OpenStreetMap does not have an "official" map library that you are required to use. Among the most popular OSM map libraries for the web are Leaflet, which is the default map viewer on openstreetmap.org, and OpenLayers, which is considered more powerful but has a steeper learning curve. Alternatives like MapLibre have SDKs for web, Android, and iOS. Other popular map... - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

• How to Host and Test PMTiles on GitHub Pages — The Easiest Way to Serve Maps Without a Server

  You can host .pmtiles files (Protomaps tile archives) entirely on GitHub Pages and consume them using OpenLayers. This post shows how to:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• My Second Year as a Developer Advocate: A Journey Through Different Conferences

  Our talk, “Open Source Mapping Library Shoot Out,” focused on comparing popular open-source mapping libraries like MapLibre GL JS, Leaflet, and OpenLayers, helping developers make informed decisions about the tools they use. This was my first time presenting at a third-party conference, but having my co-worker by my side made the experience less daunting and allowed me to focus more on delivering the content... - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Zooming User Interface (ZUI)

  You probably know this, but in Google Maps at least, you can use browser zoom (ctrl/cmd +/-) to change the size of labels without zooming into the actual map. ------ Speaking of maps, I got to work a fun zoom project a few years ago: https://map.fieldmuseum.org/ We used https://openlayers.org/ and thought long and hard about how to best handle zooming and variable levels of information density & visual hierarchy.... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What is the cheapest VPS Hosting?

  I have an 11 GB VPS with Windows on it, and it’s running perfectly. I 100% recommend this hosting, because of it’s pricing and support. I give $8.25 a month for an 11 GB VPS. Which would cost up to $55 a month on popular hosting providers like, Linode, Vultr, and Digital Ocean. Source: about 4 years ago

• question for any linode users

  Anyone that hosts a server using the cloud provider linode.com Do you encounter any limits regarding the CPU speed? Source: about 4 years ago

• Linux OS

  One of my best recommendations is to spin up a linux server in the cloud, you can do it for free for a few months from linode.com for example. Setting up an online server for a game you like playing can also be a rewarding learning experience for networking and Linux in general. Source: about 4 years ago

• A2, Krystal, 20i, Brixly or Mechanicsweb. Best one for resellers?

  Then you can buy a VPS from linode.com, katapult.io, contabo.com or hetzner.cloud, I'd recommend a 4gb VPS, and in order to run, it has to be over 2gb. For the OS, choose AlmaLinux or a supported version of CentOS. Source: about 4 years ago

• An 'unlimited' web host has been deleting my files without any notice or warning..

  Use VPS, don't use shared web hosting when you generate content as it tends to use lots of resources like RAM, CPU %, and storage. I'd recommend hetzner.com, contabo.com, or linode.com. Source: about 4 years ago
