Create a prettymaps webapp #119

Hi all,

Sorry I've not been here much lately. To be frank, the visibility this project has gained makes me very anxious, so I try to avoid thinking too much about it.

Nevertheless, a project "inspired by" prettymaps got my attention lately. It's called "prettymapp" (https://github.com/chrieke/prettymapp). The developer rewrote the prettymaps code, so he was able to publish the project with a different license, which is unfortunate.

I was thinking about the possibility of creating a similar web app using prettymaps, but I'm not sure about what would be the best approach. I was able to create a Mercury app from a Jupyter notebook I created, but the user interface is not as flexible as I'd like. See the picture below to have an idea:

I'd appreciate suggestions or pull requests!

Thank you for continuing consider this project. I think first we should improve the function. Such as the PR #105 How do you think?

Just started using this project and WOW it has so much potential! You have done fantastic work on it. Ironically while using the project I also thought it would be really cool to integrate into a webapp. While difficult to learn, I would highly recommend Django for the task.

However, I agree with @quyleanh. I think you should first implement some of the great PRs #116, #105, #104 and review the others.

I totally understand how overwhelming life can be, and this project has been the center of a few really tough times so I totally get taking the time you need. I am super excited to see how it continues, and hope we can keep developing a great artful map product!

--Edit

Have you thought about reaching out to the developer of https://github.com/chrieke/prettymapp and seeing if they would be willing to "combine forces" so to speak and create a PR to give basic web support for this project? Would you be willing to make that a "canonical branch" of this project and link it into the README?
