I built GeoCards to make geographic discovery more fluid.

The Tech Stack:

MapLibre GL: For the vector map rendering.

OpenFreeMap: I’m using their 'Liberty' style for the tiles.

Wikipedia REST API: To pull the page summaries and thumbnails.

Photon (Komoot): For the geocoding/search functionality.

The Challenge: One of the trickier parts was ensuring that clicking a label actually registered the correct entity. I’ve implemented a fallback to a Wikipedia GeoSearch (radius-based) if the specific label name doesn’t have a direct "Summary" page match.
