How do I build a #FlatGeobuf with #GDAL that makes #QGIS *not* scan the whole file when adding to determine some metadata?

Built a webmap to generate random geodata with export to #Geopackage #FlatGeobuf #CSV #GeoJSON or #PGDump

Besides #wgs84 (latitude/longitude) all #UTM projections are supported dynamically by location

Thanks to #GDAL #WebAssembly this works completely in the browser and does not require server processing 🤩

I lost a lot of productivity this year to the assumption that Esri tools would operate consistently, have their basic functions tested, and actually work out of the box.

2024 is gonna be the year we start the Great FOSS Migration, building out some #MapLibre or #OpenLayers pages for the public, non-editable stuff, using file-based data layers like #flatgeobuf and home-grown vector tiles.

Gonna be quite the undertaking!

@jeremy probably yes, @kylebarron would know more. Other options are #flatgeobuf or vector tiles, optionally packaged as #pmtiles file.
