Hi HN, I thought some of you might enjoy the new TravelMap UI I just released.

The map shows my own trips, including cycling around Australia and rowing across the Atlantic.

It uses a MapLibre globe with vector tiles I host myself. On mobile, the trip content sits in a draggable bottom sheet over the map. Making the sheet work without fighting the map gestures was the hardest part.

Anyone can create their own map at travelmap.net too.

Happy to answer questions about the maps, the UI, the trips, or running TravelMap solo for 13 years.

Same here but I was surprised to see that Stripe tax didn’t provide these monthly summary reports. Or did I miss something?

Is FrankenPHP stable? It looks good but quite new

Nowadays the cheapest way to self-host planet vector tiles is probably to use protomaps.com and throw the .pmtiles file on a S3 bucket (AWS, Cloudflare, etc.).

It’s nice to see so many founders here. I run travelmap.net and I can also help out with self-hosting custom map tiles or tracing itineraries on Mapbox/Maplibre maps.

I don't see how I can add a point on this app.

I created https://travelmap.net/itinerary to trace my itineraries.

Isn't the baby Spanish and not Italian in the first video?

How does this routing model compare to the transit options of Mapbox's and Google's API? Are there other models out there to trace train routes?

I use <dialog> a lot when building websites. I don't run any ads nor promotional content so if that element was blocked it would break lots of features.

As someone pointed out, it's indeed harder to animate but it's fully accessible, supports escape key to close, has a built-in backdrop and has built-in focus trap. Safari took a while to support it but now it's available everywhere. I think it's better than using a <div> tag.

Does is translate the element or actually redraw it?

I understand the argument against updating the <dialog open> property but it's useful to be able to target it with CSS

Well done. I'd need it to be vector based too.

Genuine question: why is that? Is inflation required?

Embeddings are indeed a good starting point. Next step is choosing the model and the database. The comments here have been taken over by database companies so I'm skeptical about the opinions. I wish MySQL had a cosine search feature built in

I'm considering switching my function calling requests from OpenAI's API to Mistral. Are they using similar formats? What's the easiest way to use Mistral? Is it by using Huggingface?

The refund is probably not worth the time spent building the case but it sends a valuable message. Keep your promises.

I bought Apple stock a while back but that kind of behavior makes me want them to fail so bad. So I guess I'll sell my shares.

I started to migrate from Mapbox GL JS but I'm still waiting for 3D globe support to fully switch.

I also need to compare bundle sizes and load times. Last time I checked Mapbox v2 was faster.

They didn't want to have a version 2.100

I'm hosting Photon geocoder from Komoot. I find it decently accurate and not too expensive to run

Thanks. I found this article on Paul's blog which answers my question: https://www.paulnorman.ca/blog/2024/01/minutely-updated-tile...

Which tech stack are they planning to use? It seems like Planetiler and tilemaker are popular options but do they scale for OSM's needs? Protomaps PMtiles are also very interesting

That's a good point. We shouldn't have to generate all these icons.

I also wish we could style <select> lists. Like adding flags to <option> elements.

No mention of CSS page transitions or scroll-driven animations which can also remove some boilerplate JS.

I think having at least one screenshot per feature can be very useful in some cases. I don't need step by step screenshots but I like to get a quick visual of what I'm trying to build.

They added it in the YouTube video but forgot it in the post https://youtu.be/oqCsXbsuvM0

I wish I'll be able to use the CloseWatcher API to replace my history API hack to close dialogs. As always, we're now waiting for browser support
