TerraInk is presented as a free, browser-based alternative to paid custom city map poster shops, using OpenStreetMap data to generate printable posters for any city. The tool emphasizes end-user customization, zero-signup access, and optional self-hosting via Docker under an MIT open-source license.

This feels like cheating. People pay $30-$50 for custom city map posters on Etsy. Someone just open-sourced the exact same thing for free. It's called TerraInk. Its a cartographic poster engine built on OpenStreetMap data. Type a city. Customize everything. Download and print. What you get: → Any city on Earth via OpenStreetMap → Roads, water, parks, building outlines → Full theme and color control → Custom fonts via Google Fonts → PNG export, print-ready The whole thing runs in your browser. No account. No subscription. No checkout. Self-host it with one Docker command if you want it completely yours. 100% Open Source. MIT License. Live app: http://terraink.app
