@a @scy @delan vector files in .mbtiles format are sqlite files. You need to run a server to respond with vector tile data to the client.

The protomaps .pmtiles file instead is a single static file you can drop on any hoster and be done with it, no server required other than a static host.

You can put a .pmtiles file e.g. of a city on Github pages and serve it from there alongside your map 😍
