Map tiles from OpenFreeMap #693

I'm not associated with the project, and just saw this recently, and I thought osmAPP can benefit from this option.

Here's their own blurb:

What is OpenFreeMap?

OpenFreeMap lets you display custom maps on your website and apps for free.

You can either self-host or use our public instance. Everything is open-source, including the full production setup — there’s no ‘open-core’ model here. Check out our GitHub. The map data comes from OpenStreetMap.

Using our public instance is completely free: there are no limits on the number of map views or requests. There’s no registration, no user database, no API keys, and no cookies. We aim to cover the running costs of our public instance through donations.

We also provide weekly full planet downloads both in Btrfs and MBTiles formats.

This came to mind when I recently read an issue about other tiles using place names other than name tags from OSM.

Yes, definetely! Since they update the tiles weekly (vs. Maptiler monthly), it has much quicker feedback loop for people editing map using OsmAPP.

It is quite easy to convert the basicStyle to openfreemap source, but it needs a proper testing, as this is the cornerstone of the whole OsmAPP :) Later we may replace also other requests for maptiler infra, and leave basicStyle completely open.

I would still love to leave the outdoor layer running on Maptiler, as this is extra useful.
