Freaking ineffably awesome project, work, and the project is written with minimum dependencies it seems!
Thank you... thank you very much for the marvel you do, dear artists/developers!

Does anyone know relatively same projects with live-changes?

"Show me the way" is a similar project: https://osmlab.github.io/show-me-the-way/

This is freaking magnificent one, and they do have a quite optimized map loading! They seem to be using MapBox service under the hood.
I am searching for such projects with live visualization of data to eventually contribute to!
Thank you very much, dear infeeeee@lemmy.zip ! 💎
