Quite cool to see this space being explored! https://github.com/headwaymaps/headway is another related project.

Nice - thanks for the pointer. Headway is definitely a related "self-hosted maps stack" project.

One place Corviont is trying to differentiate is the update story for edge/fleet deployments: the goal is a signed, resumable regional dataset updater (verify manifest -> atomic swap -> reload/rollback) so boxes in the field can stay fresh without manual rebuilds or "re-download the world" updates. Headway (at least from a quick skim) looks more like "bring your own data / regenerate when needed," which is totally fine for servers, but fleets usually need something more automated.

If you've seen Headway (or similar) handle incremental/regional updates well, I'd love to learn from it - updater design is the big missing piece I'm validating demand for.
