• I honestly don't like using most Openstreetmap websites: slow, clunky. Is there a better way to do this faster on my own desktop?

  The docs of https://openmaptiles.org is probably enough and they also offer a tileset. Creating your own vectortiles from openstreetmap is a bit of a rabbit hole as well as resource demanding task. Source: 11 months ago

• How would you build something like this?

  Something like https://openmaptiles.org/ to host map server. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Synology Photos HEIC support after 7.1.1-42962 Update 4

  Custom tiles are doable (see also https://openmaptiles.org/), but then you need some people dedicated to maintain the data and serving them; your costs would shift from buying the service to your own operations. Thi would be still non-zero (compared to current state). Source: about 1 year ago

• Given a users city, get their latitude and longitude?

  In case you don't want to use a local database file or need something more precise than a city's long/lat, I used the openroutservice api for geo coding in one of my recent projects. It offers 1.000 queries per day for free and has a python wrapper. Another option would be the Google maps API which offers 40k requests per month. Source: about 3 years ago
