#2I wish the readme explained what this project actually was instead of the incredibly vague and unhelpful "self host the entire planet".

> incredibly vague and unhelpful
As is very common with projects on Github. They should have a paragraph at the start explaining simply what they do.

Still barely more detailed.
The problem with the whole OSM ecosystem is that it expects a lot of domain knowledge of technologies, formats, tools, their relations and features, limitations, that is rarely explained well, or explanaitions are often terribly outdated. Feels much like the JavaScript Frontend frameworks for an outsider, it is a lot of effort to get to an overview and understanding, despite the concepts are not new.

And a screenshot for every project with a UI. I‘d love to see that more often.

#8Entire planet maps/topology I guess. But my mind had much much more ambitious first thought.

#9Looks like every single "tile" image from OpenStreetMaps (OSM) a service that hosts them so that you can pass the same OSM parameters to the URL and get maps

#10It would be great if it's an actual planet with its own ecosystem. This is just a tile map
