Well I've got some pretty good progress to report. The openstreetmap ecosystem is wild but I'm slowly getting a handle on it.
<ill_logic>
The status quo is that I have to manually get pmtiles files from protomaps' website, with limited size, and
<ill_logic>
for search I have to use something called gazetteer that crashes for a lot of different areas and takes a lot of processing power.
<ill_logic>
In trying to solve the first part I accidentally figured out the second part. I can efficiently export all of New Hampshire to GeoJSON using osmium
<ill_logic>
Which means that I can easily parse that for the search data. No need for gazetteer at all. Fingers crossed, I guess, that it works for Illinois. But I assume it will.
<ill_logic>
Perhaps naively.
<ill_logic>
For tiles - I'm having to use a couple different tools that work out of the box on paper, but it turns out they generate the wrong "schema" for protomaps.
<ill_logic>
So I'm now manually figuring out how to generate the correct schema. Manually.
<ill_logic>
Water showed up before, that happened to be correct with either schema. But now I got buildings and highways showing up.
<ill_logic>
A fair amount left to go but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
<ill_logic>
This whole ecosystem is disjoint and opaque in a way that I think the participants don't realize.
<isd>
Neat!
<ill_logic>
(For those who don't know what I'm talking about - this is for the Share-A-Map app currently in the experimental market)
<ocdtrekkie>
That's really cool.
<isd>
Writing up the perspective you've gained before you're also In Too Deep is probably worthwhile
<ocdtrekkie>
I'm excited to see what areas you can handle. I saw the Chicago zone in the repo, but the area I need is basically the entire area surrounding that area, because I never go downtown, but go all over the suburbs.
<isd>
A beginners mind helps you spot problems the experts have become blind to.
<ill_logic>
Oh, yeah I had the Chicago region defined when I was trying to get that to work with Gazetteer.
<ill_logic>
At this point I'm more likely to just have Illinois.
<ill_logic>
But I should see how well that work.
<ill_logic>

<ill_logic>
Trying to generate tiles for Illinois now...
<ill_logic>
About 5X as big as NH
<ill_logic>
Yeah it works! Streets show up. GeoJSON (usable for search) exports, I'm finding at least a couple things in there that I expected.
<ill_logic>
And this is on my laptop, which is pretty bad performance-wise. I'd been relying on a VPS before. I'll still do that tho for efficiency.
<ill_logic>
But I have a fair amount to go to get all of the features showing up properly. The only labels I have now are for highways.
