earthly.city 🌍 is, in part, driven by a set of powerful πŸ’ͺ s in the backend. Technologies like this, in combination with #blossom and #pmtiles allow us to have interesting and novel user flows that the legacy #cucknet wouldn't allow.

These include datasets and maps that are unruggable, user-owned and, if chosen, offline.

All examples are live on #earthlycity and can be tried out.

A user creates his own map from the bounds of an existing FeatureCollection dataset and uses it as his base map (BYOB [Bring Your Own #blossom is coming soon...]):


The resulting map: https://www.earthly.city/?pmtiles=https%3A%2F%2Fblossom.earthly.city%2Fd4b06acacef3d956a887247b4df3177e1f81b15ae9d0dfa3073c3afbbab349ea

The map can be downloaded and used offline:


Search and geocode:


OSM base geometry can be lifted out and imported into the edit state:
