earthly.city ๐ŸŒ is, in part, driven by a set of powerful ๐Ÿ’ช @ContextVM s in the backend. Technologies like this, in combination with #blossom and #pmtiles allow us to have interesting and novel user flows that the legacy #cucknet wouldn't allow. These include datasets and maps that are unruggable, user-owned and, if chosen, offline. All examples are live on #earthlycity and can be tried out. A user creates his own map from the bounds of an existing FeatureCollection dataset and uses it as his base map (BYOB [Bring Your Own #blossom is coming soon...]): The resulting map: The map can be downloaded and used offline: image Search and geocode: OSM base geometry can be lifted out and imported into the edit state: #blog

Great work - Iโ€™m such a fan of context vm. Got some things cooking in the background to release soon
One of the services that keeps us hooked to googlag is maps. SEC-05 saw a lot of exploration on maps. This is important. We have the tech today for everyone to have their own unruggable maps and for everyone to share their slice with everyone else. P2P maps. We are convinced, Nostr as Twitter alternative was just a Trojan horse, The Other Stuff is where its really at. And we are exploring that with more conviction and fervor.

i got that far, but then once i have the thing imported i son't see a button to save/publish the dataset itself. it's all still local. So once I filled this info, what do i do? image

found the issue, this part of the bar falls of the screen. Brave Browser - MacOS (right side of image = edge of my screen) image
Oh boy. I'll probably combine some of to drop-down menus. The toolbar is getting tight.
