Thank you for writing down something that’s been on my mind. Customer service dep’ts are impenetrable at this point. I used to have no problem picking up the phone and doing battle with [bit company here] when I needed to, but it’s so awful at this point, they’ve conditioned us out of even trying.

Very cool! Yeah it seems like there’s a lot of potential in shifting more compute to Rust for map stuff 👀

I stumbled on this looking for updates on maplibre-rs. Really cool work! 🤩

Static is nice! Not sure if maybe a Parquet file hosted in S3 could work? Read in what you need client-side with DuckDB?

How much traffic are you expecting? You might be able to get away with the free tier of the Google Maps, Mapbox or Maptiler geocoding APIs.

Hope they aren’t on a prepaid mobile plan 😬

They’re in denial about 2025
