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.

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?
