Re: [talk-au] Publishing data as vector tiles/something else
Hi Ben I knew about Tippecanoe - and will also give it a go. Thanks for the reminder! Like all unfunded projects the whole idea is prone to being put on the back burner (or in the back of a dark cupboard ).. might see some action soon!

Re: [talk-au] Publishing data as vector tiles/something else
I recently came across Tippecanoe, which is a tool that outputs "Mapbox Vector Tile Specification" tiles from other formats, with a focus on large datasets and sensible level-of-detail handling. I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it might be useful here. Maybe converting your data to .mbtiles, then generating a "TMS folder" from that (which I imagine is possible). https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles I hope those leads help you out. I'd be interested to hear what solution you settle on!

[talk-au] Publishing data as vector tiles/something else
Hiya I have about a gigabyte (maybe 2) of vector data for high resolution terrain classifications and features (snow safety related) that I want to publish in a way that leaflet/openlayers/cesium based apps can ingest it. I also want it to be static - bare http access without a server in the way. ...and I don't want to restrict access with a paywall, I want people to play with it and figure out if it is useful (donations are always welcome!) Currently it's all in .gpkg What's the current state of the art in static, over-http vector delivery for web apps (or to qgis) that isn't over-fluffy ? (Geojson for example blows the size out by a lot). Links to how-to's welcome...
