  2. Well, I wrote one already for leaflet ;) https://github.com/protomaps/protomaps.js TBH, the blocker is not demand for vector rendering but the technical difficulty and performance constraints of doing rasterization in the browser.
  3. …rendering did you use? I'm working on a new attempt at that here, though not WebGL-based: http://github.com/protomaps/protomaps.js so it would be valuable to know if it can get closer to what you wanted to accomplish.
  4. Yes, I'll look into this. Can you email me at brandon@protomaps.com or make an issue at http://github.com/protomaps/protomaps.js ? I may need to make a get a sourcemap-enabled build online as well.
