A new way to make maps with OpenStreetMap

I’ve used the utility tippecanoe with success to generate vector tiles from geojson sources and am hosting them statically. It’s been overall pretty easy. The only gotcha I can remember is I needed to pass the no compression flag since mapbox gl can’t read compressed tiles (and the file host will gzip everything anyways).

What issues have you run into with gzipped tiles? I store a lot of gzipped individual tiles for use in Mapbox GL maps on S3 with no problem - the only necessary change was making sure that S3 was emitting `content-encoding` headers.

I couldn’t get the tiles to show up at all when they were compressed by tippecanoe. I’m not sure what the problems is, to be honest.
