After building several flat map interfaces for mobile web experiences, I kept hitting the same realisation, every single one felt better on desktop even though I was designing for them to be touch based.I came across a demo from MapLibre of a global map projection and decided to give it a crack. Doesn't the sphere feel natural on mobile web? Does it come with a cost? e.g. did you feel any performance issues on your device?
