Hey there, I'm the author of the tool! Just wanted to thank you for the comments, feedback and shares! I 'm very happy! PS: If you liked that project you may find my other stuff interesting: https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aanvaka%20min_retweets%3A... - it's just a hobby but I love it :D
Would be nicer if it would distinguish (just varying line thickness) between footpaths, roads, highways etc. Many European cities look messy in this view. IMO, prettymaps is quite a bit better: https://github.com/marceloprates/prettymaps
I'm impressed that it worked so smoothly after I entered Tokyo. Fully expected my phone's browser to crash at any time as it proceeded to download 34MB of data. Scrolling and zooming didn't even stutter. I've done a thing with the same base idea in the past, and absolutely love the style of those things, especially if there are enough roads available to get a more dense shape: https://christian.rinjes.me/posts/2020-11-25-tokyo-street-ar...
