@bdon Awesome! The geospatial industry is in need of simpler tooling for specific jobs such as generating tilesets.

Currently complex tools such as QGIS and GDAL do everything, but the learning curve is very steep.

An addon you might consider a feature to drop an image (and adjust it to fit) over the OSM data to generate a XYZ tilesets directly on the customer AWS S3 (or equivalent storage).

This might be a good way to monetise your offering... I know my customers would buy it.
