so I’m doing maps now, how hard could this be?
None
maps huh? •a bunch of square pictures •drag them with
a mouse •put some icons on top
PFF
Let’s build a mapping library from scratch!
no way you could do that

the number one mapping library in the world* *because the
guy didn’t know shit about maps
•extremely lightweight and simple •extremely easy to get started •huge
community, tons of plugins •stable as a mountain •works everywhere (i.e. legacy browsers)
raster tiles era
OpenLayers
• maps as background • mostly static • top-down, north-oriented
• a rigid set of zoom levels • some simple vectors/icons on top • conceptually the same as 14 years ago Web maps status quo:

Digital maps before: exclusively web tech Digital maps now: native
mobile apps + web
Browsers before: display a bunch of text and images Browsers
now: anything is possible
