> The trend at the time was that every website should be architected as an application, and then shipped to the user’s browser to render.

This is wrong. Some websites are better mostly (mostly) rendered on the client (we call them "apps", like a map application) and some are better mostly rendered on the server (like blogs).

It was and will be.

Google maps on mobile is directing the user to the native app more and more. So I doubt this. Geolocation on desktop is mostly useless.

I wonder if this new element is used by MapLibre.

Protomaps should have been cited.

Not many people know that compass on the Web is possible.

Works on most Android phones.

I discovered that when I figured out that a Web map without a position arrow is missing something.

Turns out, it was easy to implement. The Web has been so forgotten for the profit of app stores that entreprises don't even bother to check how capable it is.

I know offline maps (think Comaps) is possible on the Web, there just isn't anyone that did implement it yet.

Interesting. Is there a license that acts this already ?

Still working on https://cartes.app, the libre Web european Google Maps alternative.

Why was it flagged ?
