About

Hi there,I'm building a map tool - Tasmap. It combines the functions of articles, maps, and design. The goal is let people can easily build beautiful maps without design/engineering effort. There are many demo and use-cases on landing page, take a look and give it a try :)- Eddie Hsu

Mapbox under the hood or custom renderer?

Trace Gibson Trace Gibson 1 week ago

Canva for X" is quite the claim these days. What's the rendering stack looking like under the hood, MapboxGL, Deck.gl, something custom? Also genuinely curious how you handle the tension between templated design and the fact that most maps worth making need pretty specific projection choices.

The "Canva for X" comparison gets thrown around a lot lately, but maps are genuinely one of those things that are painfully tedious to make look decent. Every time I've tried to create something for a presentation or blog post, I end up fighting with Google Maps screenshots or some clunky GIS tool. So the concept here makes sense. One thing that concerns me though, maps carry a lot of information density, and the editing experience needs to feel really intuitive or it defeats the whole purpose. The description mentions combining "articles, maps, and design" which sounds ambitious, maybe too ambitious? Would rather see a tool that nails the map design part first before layering on content features. Curious how the output quality compares to something hand-crafted by a designer. That's usually where these simplified tools fall short, the templates look nice in screenshots but everything starts looking same-ish when people actually use them.

custom projections or just web mercator

bet this is just a mapbox gl wrapper, article embedding is probably iframe-based
