Show HN: Desert Atlas, a self-hosted OpenStreetMap app for
Sandstorm
Hi all, This project release is a long time coming. It was a big
uphill battle, and by far my largest endeavor so far. I built it
for Sandstorm because I believe in Sandstorm's model, and I wanted
to show that there's still life and potential in it. If you're
inspired, joining our OpenCollective would be really helpful:
https://opencollective.com/sandstormcommunity (keeping in mind that
Sandstorm has now moved from its original leadership to a community
project https://sandstorm.org/news/2023-11-03-from-io-to-org). You
can also join our mailing list or connect on the fediverse:
https://sandstorm.org/community (The IRC link is outdated, we've
effectively moved to Matrix for now due to the libera.chat split:
https://matrix.to/#/#sandstorm:libera.chat) Also: I'm open for
hire! You can see some of my skills in putting things together in
this blog post. I'd love to work in something FOSS or OSM related,
but not a requirement. I mostly do Python and Golang, with a bit of
Haskell under my belt. Other projects and resume here:

| Thank you for this very useful info, I will keep my eye on
| Nominatim lite! If it's coming soon I can focus on things other
| than search for now.
