• 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 / 20 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 / 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

• Show HN: Atlas – Make maps like never before

  How does this compare to Felt [1]? It would be nice to have some plans with listed prices in between "Free" and "Enterprise" ("book a demo"). For comparison, Felt has $30/mo and $90/mo plans. Calling yourselves "the new standard for GIS software" seems like overly strong branding. [1]: https://felt.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)

  Felt | Engineering Manager, App and Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Placemark is going open source and shutting down

  For anyone else who follows along in this domain, there's an interesting competitor in the space I stumbled across recently: https://felt.com/ Pretty nice looking product and robust feature set. Love to see GIS tooling becoming more accessible. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Does anyone else wish the geospatial community was more open (like GitHub)?

  There are pockets of truly open geodata though, like OpenStreetMap (even though it only services a very specific kind of geodata). People also put a lot of spatial data on Zenodo. There are even platforms out there built for almost exactly what you describe, like Koordinates and Felt, as well as means of managing your data in a way similar to managing source files, like Kart.

• Ask HN: Is there a event seating plan tool but for cars?

  I don't know if there's a readymade tool for this, but maybe you could plot it as a collaborative map so that it's clear which drivers/passengers are close to each other? Something like https://felt.com/ might help Or there's this that I've used before, but I think it's really just a signup list and not something that automatically tries to geo-optimize your routes or anything:... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
