I sometimes muse about the savage job-destroying nature of the open source community: hundreds of thousands of developers working tirelessly to unemploy as many of their peers as possible by giving away the code they've written for free.

My site now has a search feature! You can also filter by region or theme to narrow results.
Technical details: this is a Pagefind implementation, completely static, using the astro-pagefind integration. Overriding parts of the default UI with Tailwind feels like a bit of a kludge but hey, it works.

I talked to @bdon.org about self hosting static maps with @protomaps.com!
He mentioned open source maintainers usually only hear complaints from their users 😣
If someone's project helped you build something let them know!

This week, I'm working on creating dynamic Open Graph images for various parts of allmaps.org. The first is for latest.allmaps.org, a small website that shows the last 250 maps georeferenced with Allmaps.
