Great work! I started georeferencing old plat maps and aerial photographs from my area in QGIS and realized quickly it would be hard to ask other for help without a platform like this.
I’ll try running my own and see about importing existing work. Have you thought about extending the public site scope beyond insurance maps?
Yes, at certain points, like when I made that ohmg.dev website, I have looked at this as a re-deployable platform that anyone could self-host. It still technically is, but I've slowed down a lot on that idea (no one really showed up with interest). There are other good places to georeference maps on the web, like mapwarper.net and allmaps.org. That said, I do hope to expand to handle import of other atlases, not only Sanborns, and if you have something particular in mind you can mention it here: https://github.com/ohmg-dev/OldInsuranceMaps/issues/266

The maintainer is generalizing outside of Sanborn maps [0].
