[Feature request] Add user searches to cache

[tycrek]

First off, I'm loving this project.

I'm wondering how hard it would be to dynamically update the cache with user searches. For example, I keep searching my local town to show the project to people. It only takes a few seconds, but it would be nice if it could update the cache with what the client is able to load. Although I totally get if this is difficult because of the huge amounts of data some regions have.

Just an idea!

Thank you for the idea! At the moment we use github as our CDN, and there is no other intermediate server that could cache the results or even collect analytics in background, so that we could support dynamic caching.

But I noticed overpass being slow periodically and it is a frustrating experience. If you want to add your city to the cache - please let me know its name and I'll add it.

This could be semi-automated via pull-requests model, but prior to that I'd probably need to polish/document this caching repository https://github.com/anvaka/index-large-cities

I like the pull request idea. If you added a function to the map site where you could export the loaded data in whatever format the cache uses, that data could be used as a template for the pull request.

or have a log of the searched cities, add to cache after they pass a certain popularity?
