Hello Mapperinos! Quick update on the mapper:
Still Here
Yes, the app is still alive and kicking! Things have been quite busy so uploads and maintenance haven’t been top of my list for a bit. I hope to change that in May or June 2021.
More Tiles
I’ve received batches of tiles from new and existing contributors and plan to have time to format and upload them in June.
Shell Game
A few things will be moving around in the near future, or possibly already have moved! If you’re reading this, either you’ve found the new location of the blog or my redirect went smoothly, and I’m happy either way.
In addition, I’m planning to move the tiles directory out of the GitHub repo and start serving it from a new location separate from the codebase. If you’re hotlinking to any tile images, those links will break. (Please don’t do it anyway.) Otherwise, that’s mostly a heads-up if you plan to try contributing to the mapper codebase.
Development Roadmap Backlog
With all the projects I’ve been juggling, it’s hard to nail down exact dates for things. In May, I plan to overhaul the Development Roadmap page on the blog and turn it into more of a prioritized backlog of things to do when I’m able.
If there’s something you think the mapper should have or do that isn’t there currently, let me know! I can be reached here on the blog, by e-mail at “dave” at the app’s domain, or on Facebook, Twitter, or Mastodon/activitypub federated social media.
