• Zooming User Interface (ZUI)

  You probably know this, but in Google Maps at least, you can use browser zoom (ctrl/cmd +/-) to change the size of labels without zooming into the actual map. ------ Speaking of maps, I got to work a fun zoom project a few years ago: https://map.fieldmuseum.org/ We used https://openlayers.org/ and thought long and hard about how to best handle zooming and variable levels of information density & visual hierarchy.... - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Handling files in enterprise web solutions

  In order to display the GeoJSON features on a map, we will use OpenLayers, which is a very powerful open-source mapping library that is also very simple to use. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• 5 JavaScript mapping APIs compared

  OpenLayers is a modular, high-performance library designed for displaying and interacting with maps and geospatial data. It is a free, open-source JS library released under the 2-Clause BSD License, facilitating the creation of interactive and feature-rich web maps. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• I'm a senior in my CS major and it's incredible I didn't hear about GIS projects until now. Glad to be here.

  For web maps I'd strongly recommend using OpenLayers. While it's less convenient to get started with compared to the alternatives it's also much more feature-complete and you'll likely hit a ceiling in terms of functionality much later than you would with the others. Source: 12 months ago

• Site to display thematic maps?

  I have also used carto.com and ArcGIS Online to create interactive maps but most of my projects include static maps and I can not necessarily remake those on these sites as there are more complicated/don't need to be interactive. Source: over 2 years ago

• Tips and guides for setting up a cloud-based GIS database with a web map component for someone with very limited IT background

  I think CARTO would be perfect for this. It's basically just PostGIS in the cloud with a great interface. Source: over 2 years ago
