This is freaking great! How are you involved? Where does it get this cool image from? Dog Eared Books https://cartes.app/?allez=Dog+Eared+Books%7Cn6780338385%7C-1...

Also, I noticed the map is at least a few days behind in my area, how long does it take for you to get updates?

Do you plan to offer any way to sync data between devices?

We extract the og image from the website. https://codeberg.org/cartes/web/src/branch/master/app/getOgI...

Yes, we have a double problem : first, the planet dump is not available every day. Then, our tilemaker script runs every week.

Hopefully ! Without any account though, that's too much work. Except maybe for the future paid offers.
