obrhoff<p>Is there a good / easy way to migrate a Mapbox style to MapLibre? I’m looking to move bbybike to MapLibre with my own bucket of map tiles, but I’m not sure how to get my style over.<br><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/mapbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mapbox</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/maplibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maplibre</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/osm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>osm</span></a></p>
Moritz<p>I want to render ~900k POIs on an interactive, web-based world map. What tech stack would you pick? Due to performance, it seems I can rule out <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Leaflet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leaflet</span></a>, Deck.gl (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mapbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mapbox</span></a> GL JS and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Maplibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Maplibre</span></a>) – at least when I render them individually. It seems that creating a vector layer (e.g. via Mapbox Studio) out of the POIs might be the best approach in terms of performance. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>webdev</span></a></p>
