Yohan,

Excellent work, thrilled about this!

The HDM-specific rendering + iconography is critical!

And also maybe to host it on a server with a shorter / more explicit name (humanitarianmap.org? or whatever in this direction). And, naturally, if there was a possibility to serve the whole planet file, it would be even more amazing! :-)
