Building an interactive Palworld map with Next.js, Leaflet and Supabase

As a solo developer I wanted a fast, mobile-friendly interactive map for Palworld that didn't bury me in ads. The result is Pindrop , and here are a few of the technical decisions behind it. Rendering 1000+ markers without jank The interactive map uses Leaflet with a custom marker-clustering layer. Markers are served as static JSON from the edge and hydrated client-side, so the first paint is server-rendered and the heavy marker work happens after. A breeding calculator as a pure function Palworld's breeding combos are deterministic, so the breeding calculator is just a lookup over a precomputed table rather than a backend call. That keeps it instant and fully cacheable. Stack Next.js (App Router) for SSR + static generation Leaflet for the map layer Supabase for the small amount of dynamic data Vercel for hosting and edge caching If you play Palworld, the guides section collects the breeding, location and boss notes I kept losing track of. Feedback from other devs welcome — especially on the clustering approach.
