hootenanny VS openstreetmap-americana

I'm looking at this open source project, and I cannot derive how a particular run of the program would work.

Nice for driving, but not for walking. Look how much pedestrian info is simply not rendered in my home area. Tons of stairs and walkways are not visible:

- https://zelonewolf.github.io/openstreetmap-americana/ is a (vector) style that „applies cartographic practices that are characteristic of maps published in the United States.“

It's still very much in the early stages, but https://zelonewolf.github.io/openstreetmap-americana/ is a project to build a rendering system that handles details better. It's using OpenStreetMap data in the OpenMapTiles schema, but giving lots of feedback to OMT when something won't work.

(There's some attempt to make things look nice, but the focis is still on capabilities)

This is awesome! This reminds me of a project under active development right now called Americana. It's an online "slippy" map that seeks to render every highway shield in the United States, and use symbology reminiscent of old paper atlases. You might want to check it out -- link to map and link to project. There's also this talk that's worth watching, info about highway shields around 6:00. Some national OpenStreetMap organizations, like OSM France, have their own country-specific map styles featured on their homepages. Many American mappers are excited to adopt this one as ours.
