Yes, there are still a lot of bugs, but ... step by step.

In order to prepare the map and download servers for worldwide satellite and orthoimagery, I need to migrate some of our infrastructure. Unfortunately, this may result in brief outages over the next 1-2 days, but I will try to keep these to a minimum.
We are at #39C3. 🖖
Get in touch if you'd like to meet and talk about VersaTiles.
Two new experimental updates:
1. The latest map data now includes 11 languages!
2. We have developed a new 'Maplibre VersaTiles Styler' tool to help you create map styles interactively.
You can test both features here: tiles.versatiles.org
Great news! We are releasing the first demo of our new free satellite map data. It's still a work in progress, but you can help us cover more countries.

I'm curating a collection of projects that use VersaTiles. If you have one, you can add your showcase here: docs.versatiles.org/compendium/s...

RFC: We need to extend the Mapbox TileJSON specification to include more information about map tile sources.
What are your thoughts on the following proposal?

Since Mapbox's fontnik library is no longer maintained, we've written a completely new glyph rendering engine in Rust that solves many of the old problems.
