Hey, any recommendations for a conversation starter in a coworking kitchen?

Great project! I recently wrote a detailed technical post on how to implement a similar visualization with WebGL — check it out: https://blog.mapbox.com/how-i-built-a-wind-map-with-webgl-b6...

Expected to see an article about the development of modern Go the board game theory after the advent of AlphaGo and AI generally. Got disappointed. Happens every time :(

Would love to see this adopted by Hugo. The default templating engine is ugly as hell.

Wow, talk about exaggeration... I live in Kyiv all my life, but travel to San Francisco frequently. And the latter feels MUCH more dangerous (especially around the Tenderloin area where most startup offices are located). Drug addicts, homel

If the icons don't work when you use Leaflet through NPM, please report a bug at https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/issues . This is certainly not an expected behavior. It might have regressed in recent versio

Does this effect happen on the Leaflet frontpage example? You could be using an older version Leaflet CSS with a newer version JS.

WebGL is notoriously hard to use and requires tons of code for even simple things like drawing lines and polygons. (Disclaimer: I'm also one of the core developers of Mapbox GL JS) One of our core devs (Ivan) works on Leaflet WebGL ren

Leaflet supports retina tiles, they're just not used on the frontpage example because default OSM tile service doesn't provide them, and we don't use other providers on that example for the sake of simplicity (to keep it as s

Leaflet author here. Thanks for the kind words everyone! A few core developers are here too. Ask us anything. :)

Getting fixed in 1.0.1, to be out today.

Of course the performance claims only relate to Leaflet itself, not the server performance — Leaflet is server-agnostic (you can use it with any tile provider). The improvements will be noticeable in dynamic map apps with lots of vector dat

Disclaimer: I'm the Leaflet author and I also work on Mapbox GL. It's true that Mapbox currently focuses its efforts on GL, but they are not "moving away from Leaflet" — Leaflet will continue to be supported as one of th

Yeah, sorry for that — now that we're using a much better docs system, and will archive docs for older versions.

Leaflet focuses on being lightweight, fast, easy to use and suitable for most mapping apps, while OpenLayers is more geared towards GIS/academics with its vast built-in support for different formats and standards.

Fantastic explanation, thank you!

It's already possible, we just need to put out an example of how to do it. :)

by mourner 12y ago
It's currently a bit hacky but works — I think I'll put out a basic demo in a few days and then build from there.

The whole backend stack is open source — check out https://github.com/mapbox/?query=vector (all things vector data) and https://github.com/mapbox/?query=fontnik (powers font processing for GL)

Yes, upcoming Mapbox Studio release will allow you to author vector tiles for GL (with custom data), which you can fully style on the client in turn. Note that Mapbox GL is a collaborative effort of a big talented team — a lot of people wor

Sorry, we focused so much on the underlying tech challenges and getting this out in the open as fast as possible that we slipped some presentation details. Fixing today.

The whole Mapbox GL stack is open source and can be used locally as well. It is complicated, but possible nevertheless. Also, it's very different — with OL3, you just have GL rendering usual server-rendered image tiles with some simple

Valid point, will add an attribution control shortly.

The data is loaded from server as 512x512 protobuf tiles (an efficient binary format) in a Web Worker and parsed/processed there.

Leaflet creator here, worked on both libraries. It makes a lot of sense because this library is vastly different from usual slippy maps — fluid continuous zoom & rotation, extremely powerful visualization and interactivity potential, no

Sure. Oh but wait, there is an actual map there!

It's more about startups wanting to rely on open data and open source vs proprietary.
