stampbook.
A travel journal where every trip is a passport stamp, with a map that flies to each one.
overview.
Stampbook is a travel journal made to look like a passport. Every trip you log is inked onto a visa page as its own entry stamp, and one map beside it flies to the place when you open it. Places come from Photon search over OpenStreetMap data, with map tiles from OpenFreeMap. It started as Travel Journal, three trips written into the code as cards; the rebuild is designed like the book the trips go in, with an Indian passport's navy cover, pale security paper and stamps in red, blue and green ink.

One map, every page
A WebGL map takes a moment to start and forgets where it was when it remounts, which is what makes most map apps blink between pages. So there's only one: it's rendered once and its container is carried from page to page, and each page only tells it where to look. Opening Kolkata flies it in; going back pulls it out to fit every trip.
The border India draws
Free vector tiles only carry merged, unnamed borders, so Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Aksai Chin come out cut up with dashes. Stampbook drops the tiles' borders and draws its own from Natural Earth's India point of view, a 135 KB file loaded beside the map.
Any name fits the stamp
Place names run from Goa to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, and a stamp has a fixed rim. Each line is measured against the space it has, around a circle or across a box, and shrinks, then tightens its letter spacing, until it fits.
