Perhaps a relevant question: Are you describing a business need, a (supposedly) good way to implemented it, or how are you combining the two here? > OK, hmmm, how do we get more global coverage? Like I said, combine all the Wikipedia e

I suppose I didn't (and still don't) understand why you singled out US and GB. Here's my take of the topic: 1. Wikipedia editions are not defined by region but by language, and the relationship between regions and languages i

Cool service! You could get rid of prerendering as well as handle clicks client-side if you switched to MapLibre and vector tiles (e.g. tippecanoe). On small zoom levels it doesn't really matter, but I think it would further improve th

I think the pressing question here is what the Anki cards contained w.r.t. these problems :-) The high school curriculum and the text books are not focused on proofs or famous questions. Further, the goal of the exam is to find out your pos

The full names will be too much in some cases, and there is no abbreviation algorithm that will work everywhere (OSM is a global project). Similarly, "N 14th St" has no meaning in most of the world. Hence, it's complicated an
