I can't believe they still haven't added a 2x pixel density version of the default map style. It's $CURRENTYEAR and we all have high pixel density phones. No one uses 1080p displays anymore. The default blurry version makes any page using OSM feel amateur. | ||

We don't offer 2x raster tiles because we simply don't have the resources to do it while keeping the tiles minutely updated and open access. We serve around 60k req/sec on a tiny donation backed budget. The raster tiles are primarily for our OSM mappers to see their map changes rendered quickly to improve the feedback loop. | ||

Raster tiles hosted at tile.openstreetmap.org are not intended for widespread production use, they’re principally for mapper feedback. If you have a business need for something that doesn’t look “amateur” you should arguably be using a third party OSM-based service or hosting your own tiles. | ||

Funnily enough I have 3x 1080p monitors in front of me. Maybe I am "no one". :) | ||
