GeoLibre 1.0

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!

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???

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.

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

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.

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

Thoroughly recommend trying the live in-your-browser demo: https://viewer.geolibre.app/?url=https://share.geolibre.app/...

Side note: one tell for AI speak is not understanding what’s important. This boasts that it adapts to mobile screens, which is hardly unusual for a modern website and probably not a central feature of the software.
