Build a global, fast maps/tile hosting "platform".

Already working on this like mad and with a little bit of luck, I'll have a first version ready within a week.

Also learning Rust, becoming even better at/with Linux....

    We are planning that (and more) too. Check out https://www.mapdiscover.org/ . Currently in the beginning phase. We are trying to get a usable alternative to GMaps with OSM and OpenData as underlying data.

    @hypervtechnics I think I'm trying to build something different (solely the hosted tiles and rendering the data) but it looks cool!

    @hypervtechnics Sure! Always feel free to email me (linuxxx@tuta.io), I don't have many other channels of communication due to privacy reasons :)
