I achieved something I find cool today: Displaying cliffs on my #openMapTiles vector tile based #openStreetMap map (using tiles from #openFreeMap

Not really complicated, but I haven't seen them on any of the maps on #mapTiler, #osm, or any of the other vector maps I look at.

Example: An end of the white cliffs of Dover, of cause, and a screenshot of the #mapLibre style rules. It is simply a line + a dashed line offset to the right. And it looks about like in OSM Carto. :)

🚀 QGIS2VectorTiles v3.1 is out!

📍 Supports QGIS point label positions (on/around point).
⚡ Supports QGIS label priority.
🛡️ Validation warnings for invalid expressions.
🎨 Better sprite buffers.
🐞 Bug fixes and stability improvements.

❤️‍🔥 Please rate and boost to support #FOSS

Day 97. Hot air balloons everywhere! 🪂

Late-campaign lightweight piece: one clear visual idea, but still built on a proper geospatial stack.

Hot air balloon glTF above dense 3D buildings in Mapbox GL JS, with animation + lighting in a custom Three.js layer rendered over the map WebGL canvas.

Playful interaction, geographically anchored.

Day 91. Snow Dome Anywhere (3D + Particles) ❄️

This browser experiment keeps a dense 3D city readable, then layers winter atmosphere through particles and glow.

Inspiration: FOSS4G Bucharest 2019 - Iván Sánchez Ortega and Niene Boeijen.

Day 58. Furry Journey 🐾

Scroll-based route storytelling built from a simplified GeoJSON route, with staged progression tied to scroll.

Workflow: MapLibre GL for rendering, MapTiler style for terrain readability, and GraphScroll to synchronize text and camera state through the route.
