Surprised that no one is talking about ways to leverage the server so you’re not doing all the work on the client. You can shift layers by precomputing either raster or vector so you don’t push your poor, maybe mobile client to the max.
Classically you would do this with Tilemill for rasters which was amazing software, if crashy. And since we’re on a mapbox thread what I think put them on the map. I wish it was still actively developed and adapted for vectors.
- bdon 6y agoPrecomputing raster tiles became painful once screen densities started to demand @2x and even @3x resolution images. https://github.com/go-spatial/fresco https://github.com/go-spatial/fresco and https://github.com/maputnik/editor https://github.com/maputnik/editor are TileMill-like editing programs, though specific to one tile format and renderer (MapboxGL)
