Just a heads up, if you are looking into using this in your project: The popup onclick triggers are currently broken in the latest version under Safari, using an older version solves it. Other than that this is an awesome library with tons of great plugins that I’ve used for years now.

#62Leaflet is fantastic. One of the more interesting use cases I've seen for it is the Guild Wars 2 wiki. They use it heavily to display the game map for regions, areas of interests etc. It's quite impressive, and very useful as a player! https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Kryta#Interactive_Map
My brother and I created a map of our local Costco in Figma and just put it up at https://costcomap.com/

#63I'm the original author of Leaflet, ask me anything! Very happy every time I see it shared on the HN frontpage. If you're curious about the story behind Leaflet and how and why it was born 10 years ago, here's a short 13-minute presentation on this: https://youtu.be/NLbyHffKQuU
I always use leaflet when I have to work with maps, and I couldn't be more happy.

Is there any plan to add on-the-fly reprojection within Leaflet core? Is it even the core's job to deal with projection or should this be done by plugins?

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's pretty cool, it reminded me of Windy which is also pretty awesome. In fact, peeking at the source of windy, it looks like it also uses Leaflet! https://www.windy.com
Interesting that Windy uses a version from 2018. (v1.4)

#67The above is a list of awesome open source projects Vladimir Agafonkin is involved in.
Vlad's "Earcut" triangulator - embedded in Three.js - and his solar calculator are efforts that have helped me a lot.
I am wondering: have Vlad and Ricardo Cabello AKA "Mr.doob" ever hacked some linear algebra together??

Our company made the switch from Leaflet to OpenLayers as we were unable to reproject rasters with different CRS to the map's CRS in Leaflet. Is there any plan to add on-the-fly reprojection within Leaflet core? Is it even the core's job to deal with projection or should this be done by plugins?

#70One thing question that I have. If I want to use an image as a source of my tiles. Should I split the image into chunks to load them when user moves the map around? Or is there any other way to do that? Are there any tools that would help split an image into those chunks?
There are commercial products in this space too (like Maptiler).
