Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

I would love to have nazka-mapps.bsky.social added... and/or myself 😊

It's exciting that we are now able to use OSM vector data directly from OSM in MapLibre! Now, we will just have to wait for the usage policy details to get released. 👀

Fun game! I had a simular idea for the #30DayMapChallenge in 2022. Mine was like a sliding puzzle: t.co/HB9r22600D I knew it had potential 😏

I'd love to connect with anyone working in satellite remote sensing/earth observation! 🛰️🌏
