This is exciting - congrats on the 1.0 release!

I'm a big fan of QGIS, but doing stuff browser side is just _terribly_ convenient (I also never got anything 3D to work on my M2 Mac with QGIS, but granted, haven't tried QGIS 4 yet) and I admit that I enjoy working with public datasets that are hosted on e.g. ArcGIS Online. https://share.geolibre.app is super neat, too.

It's funny to run into this particular project on HN: My side project (https://skaldmaps.com, if I may) uses a stack _very_ close to it, which is to say MapLibre + DuckDB + React + a PMTiles cache, and it's been super pleasant to work with (especially combined w/ dbt and a more "traditional" data stack). I also think it performs really well.

All that to say, definitely adding this one to the homelab!

Gave this a little go. The web version was giving me IO errors for any file I tried to load in. The desktop version worked a little better and could render some smaller files (~30mb geopackage, 300kb SHP.zip).

Trying to load some bigger files >1gb kind of just sat on 'Importing data...' for a while, then the screen went blank and I lost all my layers.

Got mixed results with a grab bag of other spatial files I had laying around. A lightweight alternative to QGIS would be good but it feels like this has a way to go.

This looks like an alternative to ArcGIS online Map Viewer. If so, this is exciting! A subscription free service for gathering data for non-profits in the field using web based tools.

The marketing speak here is a bit much. Seems to be more preoccupied with the libraries than the problem solved

That seems like a really cool project. Has a lot more detail on some things than google maps - where trash cans are etc. Quick glance around my local hood & seems to check out

This looks cool, will check it out as I’ve recently been getting into geospatial data analysis.

Did you really make this whole project in two weeks???
