Felt Reviews and details

• 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

• Tips in Creating Building Footprints

  I can also suggest an alternative tool called Felt (disclaimer: I work there, but it's still pretty cool!). One of the really cool things about Felt is that you can clip features directly out of a data layer, or even the basemap. We've got a pretty awesome public Buildings layer sourced from the Daylight Map Distribution that includes all OSM buildings + all Microsoft Building Footprints. It actually includes many...

• We just released a QGIS Plugin for pushing layers into Felt and would love some feedback from the community!

  We see lots of users doing their data editing & analysis in QGIS, then exporting and uploading to Felt to easily share with colleagues. It seemed natural to build a QGIS Plugin that would remove some friction from that process and luckily our friends at North Road built it for us! Source: 11 months ago

• Alternatives to Esri Web App Builder?

  If you're looking a simple and intuitive way to have a web map that you can share with a link you might want to check out Felt. Disclaimer: I work there, but it's still some really cool (and free!) software. Source: 11 months ago

• Best Product to use for Interactive Maps

  Disclaimer: I work as a Data Curator at Felt so I'm pretty biased, but we're building some pretty cool (and free!) stuff. Source: 11 months ago

• Looking for Mapping software

  The startup “Felt” seems close but lacks IPad and mobile and tasks. https://felt.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking to do web-based marine characterization & conservation project - need advice

  Though I haven’t had the chance to use it myself, Felt looks interesting: https://felt.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• How do I create a map like the image below in react? I need some ideas please..

  Not sure but Felt may help. Helps to build beautiful maps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Help with uMap and images

  I don't know much about uMap but you might give Felt a shot. If you drag geotagged images onto it, you'll get the option to move the photo to the lat/long where it was taken. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best and "lite" way to represent open data on Google map

  Felt (https://felt.com/) is a newer player in the mapping space but is comprised of smart folks who have worked at places like CARTO, Mapbox, HERE, and Stamen. Their map builder is quite powerful getting better everyday. Source: about 1 year ago

• OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder

  You might be interested in what they are building at http://felt.com/ they have a lot of great data sets already built in and it can handle imports of all kinds of mapping data. Not for actually updating the core data of maps, but seems like the tool to address the UX of mapping multiple types of data and presenting or exploring it. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• GIS Geek Out Post

  I'm assuming you've also seen Felt? They're targeting a similar niche. Source: about 1 year ago

• Self-Hosted Vector Tiles

  I'm the author of a few of the tools mentioned in this post! A convenient new development is instead of using tippecanoe -> go-pmtiles to create PMTiles archives, you can now output .pmtiles directly: tippecanoe -o bks2.pmtiles mainroad.geojson ... This is available in Tippecanoe (https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe) for supporting this open source work. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
