Maps 🗺️

Sad news: Stamen (SF data + cartography studio, major influence in the data viz scene since 2000’s) is shutting down Map Stack.

Map Stack was a free service that let you create and host custom map tiles for Google Maps-style web maps. It never made money, so it’s no surprise Stamen wants to retire it. But damn, Map Stack was an amazing tech solution for designers.

Such a loss for the design community. Map Stack was truly a gem for creating custom map tiles. Thank you, Stamen, for your valuable contribution.
