A style using the Shortbread vector tiles is now live on OpenStreetMap.org. There’s been some minor issues with the roll-out, but nothing that caused me to panic. I’ve been taking a couple of days to unwind and relax, as this has been a major milestone.

A feature like this includes work across multiple projects, so people have been asking where to report issues.

1. Any issues that are present on the OpenStreetMap website but not on the vector demo page should be reported to openstreetmap-website. Some issues reported have been with attribution controls and strange panning at extremely high zooms

2. Style issues (e.g. colors, symbology, fonts, etc) are handled by the VersaTiles Colorful and VersaTiles Eclipse styles. Both can be found in a VersaTiles repository.

3. What is supposed to be in the tiles is defined in the Shortbread Vector Tile Schema 1.0. There are lists of what features should appear, and where they should appear.

4. The code responsible for what is actually in the tiles is contained in the Street Spirit repo. If something is missing that is supposed to be in Shortbread, this needs fixing. This also handles simplifcation and other parts of generating the tiles.

5. The software that serves the tiles is Tilekiln. If the wrong HTTP headers are being sent, this is where you report it.

6. The chef code pulls everything together on the OSMF servers. It’s unlikely you should report an issue directly here.

7. Some font rendering issues are part of MapLibre GL JS. This is most likely to come up in Southeast Asia.
