Initially (about 15 years ago - it was my first ever open source library!) it was based on Astronomy Answers articles that are thankfully still live at https://www.aa.quae.nl/en/reken/zonpositie.html , but v2.0 spe

Author of suncalc (the JS library behind the sun calculations) here — happy to see such a nice application of it! Heads up if the author's reading this — I recently released a major overhaul of the library that makes it a lot more prec

Oh, a fellow Ukrainian! Was pleasantly surprised to see that fountain on HN — I was just walking around it a few days ago, very nice and peaceful spot this time of year.

Nice article! As someone who implemented both clustering and heatmaps in Mapbox / Maplibre GL JS, just wanted to add that clustering isn't just a visualization technique — it's also a performance feature that can support othe

Amazing achievement, congratulations! Can't seem to be able to read it though, it greets me with "Sorry, you have been blocked" CloudFlare page — is this a HN overloading the website, or did the host accidentally block IPs fr

You can read more about why most web maps are like this and a quest to fix this in this article: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/adaptive-projections

Yeah, I think I last updated that website even before I released the first version of Leaflet. Life is very hectic at the moment, but I do really want to get to it sooner than later and modernize everything.

Wrote it 14 years ago! https://github.com/mourner/suncalc/ It's a bit neglected but I'll do some upkeep shortly...

The updated syntax looks brilliant — can't wait to try it out by upgrading some of my older notebooks! I was worried about the future of Observable since the Canvas announcement — it felt like notebooks were being slowly phased out, bu

Also worth checking out https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler , which maybe a bit less mature, but is much faster than Tilemaker.

Wonderful project! One thing I wish the website would have is being able to find the right book to read out of this enormous list — e.g. showing / sorting by Goodreads ratings (which I realize you might not want to do), or at least hav

I used it extensively until Microsoft did that absolutely atrocious “redesign” that tried turning it from a messenger into a flashy social app, making it an unusable ugly mess. Telegram was just starting to grow but I had to switch.

The problem with map projections in the digital age is what works well on world scale doesn't on street scale and vice versa. As explained in detail in this post: https://www.mapbox.com/blog/adaptive-projections

Love Bunny too, wonderful service and great team. I wish there'd be an easy way to set up auto-deploy to Bunny Edge Storage on GitHub commit (to avoid doing so manually), but I guess it's not to hard to do through GitHub Actions.

A lovely map — thanks for using Leaflet and keeping that little Ukrainian flag in the corner! Probably needs an attribution for the map added too (looks like it's Carto with an OpenStreetMap-derived basemap).

At pbf speeds, decoding is usually no longer a bottleneck, but bandwidth might be when comparing with gzipped JSON. Also, one of the primary advantages of pbf is being able to decode partially and lazily (and adjust how things are decoded a
