Rapid Editor is a good web app for editing OSM: https://rapideditor.org/

Thanks for sharing, this is really nice. I've added it to the list of other projects I have on the site [0]. Feel free to get in touch if you want to use OIM for other years of Par…

Thanks! Frankly the presentation side of the site needs a lot of work, and it's more about doing the georeferencing work, which sounds like you've already done. But you should get …

Yes, some maps in the site are hidden as they are part of an ongoing research project, just happens that Tampa and Key West are both examples of that. If you follow the blog/newsle…

Yes, at certain points, like when I made that ohmg.dev website, I have looked at this as a re-deployable platform that anyone could self-host. It still technically is, but I've slo…

No (or, not yet...) and yes, I know the Allmaps team well--it is an excellent project. There are a lot of similarities, but I would say two high-level differences are 1) OIM is bui…

Hi! I added a page about "georeference-a-thons" recently here: https://oldinsurancemaps.net/community-georeferencing/

Yes, there are a number of maps (the FHA ones and also one Sanborn) that are part of a research project that is still in the works, so they are hidden for now.

Great question: no. I've spent a lot more time making the georeferencing side of things work well than improving search and discovery, and even presentation (like the /viewer/ page…

I developed and maintain this site so I am both very happy to see it get posted here and also watching htop intently... I wanted to point out it is a crowdsourcing project, so ever…

Fun fact: QGIS was originally written just to view PostGIS tables.

GRASS v.generalize() has a lot of different methods: https://grass.osgeo.org/grass85/manuals/v.generalize.html . I can't personally speak to the differences but probably worth look…

I don't see mention of OHM anywhere within TimeMap, is there something I'm missing? Is there a page about where the historical data comes from for the map?

You may be interested in OpenHistoricalMap: https://www.openhistoricalmap.org , which anyone can contribute to (you can read much more about it here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org…

This was an incredible aspect of the app to have when in Rome this summer! So many public water sources, and it was so, so hot....

Well, when I registered an LLC in the US, Google mailed me a postcard to confirm my address, and third-party providers begin calling to help "claim my Google listing". So they've r…

Sure, I just mentioned it in the off-chance it was good enough out of the box. Big jump from making a screenshot (or perhaps stitching a few together) to editing OSM vectors in QGI…

The tile size doesn't change, but the number of pixels per meter does as you note--distortion being greater the farther you get from the equator (in the Mercator projection). The p…

Can people add their own layers, like a WMS overlay? and, relatedly, have you considered adding georeferenced historical map layers? It seems like a good platform for story-telling…

Very cool you are using protomaps.js! I recently found their blog and really like the ideas in there: https://protomaps.com/blog

The Stamen toner map may work well for you: http://maps.stamen.com/#toner/14/37.8024/-122.2645 Also checkout their watercolor rendering... probably my favorite basemap that I never…
