Looks like a nice new solution to host and serve global maps.

Great article. We know that the projections we use can't give a proper picture of the world. We often don't realize by how much it distort our views and what we miss. This is a good summary of the various biases in our maps.

Interesting experiment... with surprising results in places. What stays available or not is not necessarily what one would think. It's not that easy to be flexible and available across regions.
