Hi,
I think maps don't get enough recognition as a centralization story, but when you think about it, the objective of many map providers is centralization.
We in the
Maps for HTML Community Group have been working on fixing by pushing maps as a standard for integration with HTML, Â and we have developed what we think is a "Try" level offering. Â Hopefully if
people try it out they might consider joining our group (strength in numbers) and commenting on any issues they find. Â The objective is to become a "Share" level offering :-).
I wrote a blog post talking about
progressive web maps, which might give you an idea of our objectives.
The (custom element) client can be installed for your web site (if you have bower) with : "bower install web-map".
Pleased to discuss here or in issues or any of the linked resources.
Good luck with re-decentralizing the Web and the Internet!
Cheers,
Peter
