new: Historical Maps

This is a page which would display Prosperity maps of various highly active regions, downloaded every day, so that you can look how the server changed with time. Then after a year or something we could do a timelapse 🙂

Note that:

• This requires some backend server which would download and host the images. Just use GitHub
• This is not ready to merge. I just hardcoded localhost as that server. fixed
• I'm open to suggestions for regions that will be downloaded and displayed in full resolution, as downloading the whole map (over 40000x40000 per dimension) is way too much for now
  • Make a PR/issue on the map server repo (areas.json file)

To do maybe later:

• Timelapse mode (some play button which will play all the images sequentially)

Do you need someone to make the API?

Do you need someone to make the API?

I have written all the required scripts, just need someone who will host them and run fetch every day.

Any chance this could utilize the free resources provided with our Vercel plan? I would really like this to be as simple as possible to maintain

I'm sure we can figure something out...

Not sure how yet?

In the worst case, I can host the image storage and the website would just fetch from there.

I implemented daily fetch on my map server repo: https://github.com/sppmacd/Prosperity-Map-Server. Also updated the website so that it fetches from there :)
