Here is my weekend and evening project that polished up over the Christmas holidays: https://earthly.city 🌍

source: https://github.com/zeSchlausKwab/earthly

By combining PMTiles with Blossom servers, i am working on a way to host map archives on your own infrastructure that can be discovered by Earthly.

No central tile server, just 32 files on a Blossom server 🌸 and an intent on #Nostr.

- Decentralized: You host the data.

- Discoverable: Announce a map layer event, and anyone can use it.

- Composable: Combine map types and sources into unified views.

Under the hood, we map single-digit geohashes to specific PMTiles archives. Earthly delegates range requests to the associated Blossom file, ensuring efficient data fetching for the region you're viewing.

Want to verify the data?

`nak req -k 15000 relay.wavefunc.live | jq .content`

(Note: User-friendly tools to generate these announcements are coming soon!)

These announcements can also be used as a composition vehicle for different map types, styles and sources enabling us to have resilient base maps.
