@kfitz @jimgroom @hello yep. The #PleiadesGazetteer has gone from being perpetually in the #mapbox free tier to owing them more than $500/month because of javascript-capable scrapers that request all tiles available to a map. For the first time in ~20 years we may have to pull a basic, read-only user capability behind a login wall. Non-trivial for us and for our users, but this is unsustainable.

Hey #geo nerds!

I haven’t made a web #map in a while. What’s the current tool for making a super simple web slippy tile map with pins dropped into it? Ideally free (for a low traffic website).

In the past I would have used #Leaflet or #mapbox. #d3 would be overkill for this use case.

Thanks! 🗺️🤓
