Anatomy of a MapServer: how to leverage and visualize your geographical data
I am a novice at GIS and mapping but when I got started I thought a map/tile server was the only way to build mapping webapps.
But, in my admittedly simple application PMTiles can cover a lot of my visualization use cases with a thing Django app doing GEOJson for interactive stuff.

Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today
This is awesome. Such a great use case for nix.
I do a lot of geospatial processing in the cloud and I've been using Tippecanoe a lot to create vector tiles. It pairs well with PM Tiles for storing on the cloud. It seriously increases the web app performance for massive data sets. I queue these up with ECS tasks to process our json/csv/parquet input and create optimize vector tile outputs.

Tippecanoe would be a great addition to your nix packages. I've been thinking more and more about how Nix could fit into this pipeline.
Great work!

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
The thing being discussed is designed for cloud, so I think self managed is a better description?

Self hosting pmtiles is straightforward also, make a file available to a server that supports range requests:

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
It might've just been this: https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles/tree/main/serverless/aws
There isn't a tool to do that right now. It could be a fit in either https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles or https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles/tree/main/python - the Go program is faster and more production ready at this point. I imagine if folders are working for you the quantity of tiles doesn't number into the millions, so the Python program might be sufficient.
Feel free to open an issue.

Host your own OpenStreetMap Map Tiles
For the next revision of the JS decoder I'm including `fflate` as a dependency so clients can decompress gzipped tile data using JavaScript.

Animated traveling map with Leaflet
Leaflet is the most famous open-source map library, with lots of plugins. 2 of them are used to animate a marker on the map:

5 JavaScript mapping APIs compared
Leaflet stands out as one of the top open source JavaScript libraries for crafting interactive maps. Optimized for both mobile and web devices, it is relatively small (around 42KB) and offers a ton of features, plugins, and a straightforward API. It works across all browsers and platforms.

Shots: Create Mockups
Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).
Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.
As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.
Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.
Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

Do anyone have any workaround on how to get leaflet js to work inside notion, either as an embed or as code, or widget? https://leafletjs.com/

Ask HN: When building with complex maps do you go with GMaps, Mapbox, OSM?
None of those things are what most in the GIS space would consider "complex", so you could go with any of the options you selected. For lightweight maps, I like Leaflet
