eatham@osm_tech is maptiler omt what will eventually replace carto as default?
Tom Hughes@tomh @osm_tech personally I think starting from omt which already looks decent (like a high res carto) and improving it from there is better, but if shortbread improves alot it'll be good too with time. I think it could be improved by removing the fake 3d effect on buildings, it doesn't look great with them. Where would I post suggestions for the map style?
@tomh @osm_tech Also, I think that there should be a public vote before changing the default map to avoid it being randomly changed like with the stupid 'dark mode' change without community agreement
And if the vote allows voting for multiple map styles, which it should, it must have preferential voting to not split the carto and omt vote, as they are similar styles who would probably prefer each other
