Day 91. Snow Dome Anywhere (3D + Particles) ❄️

This browser experiment keeps a dense 3D city readable, then layers winter atmosphere through particles and glow.

[Martin - PostGIS 기반의 고성능 실시간 벡터 타일 서버

Martin은 PostGIS 기반의 **고성능 실시간 벡터 타일 서버**로, GIS(지리정보시스템) 개발 시 발생하는 데이터 업데이트의 번거로움, 서버 자원의 한계, 파편화된 데이터 관리, 부수적인 설정의 피로도 문제를 해결합니다. Rust로 구현되어 **저수준 메모리 최적화**를 통해 고성능을 보장하며, DB(PostgreSQL)에서 실시간으로 데이터를 읽어와 타일 생성을 생략합니다. 또한 폰트, 아이콘, 스타일 파일 등 부수적인 에셋 관리를 자체적으로 처리하여 개발자의 부담을 줄입니다. 오픈소스 프로젝트로, **MapLibre와 연계**하여 사용 가능하며, GIS 시스템 구축 시 반복적인 삽질을 줄이는 유틸리티로 활용될 수 있습니다.

지도 서비스 구현 시 마주하는 현실적인 문제들보통 지도를 직접 구현하려고 하면 다음 세 가지 지점에서 고민하게 됩니다.1. 데이터 업데이트의 번거로움문제: DB에 새 건물이 추가되었는데, 지도를 다시 그리려면(Tile Generation) 수 시간이 걸리는 전처리 과정을 매번 거쳐야 합니다.Martin의 방식: 전처리 과정 자체가 없습니다. 사용자가 지도를

Day 90. Making Lights 🌚🌞

MapLibre GL JS over lower Manhattan keeps the same OSM extrusions, but routes them through custom WebGL where SunCalc positions the light and day or dark MapTiler JSON swaps at dawn and dusk so the basemap tracks the shader, while GSAP, lil-gui, and Turf handle animated time, uniforms, and footprint popups.

We’ve been experimenting with an isochrone endpoint today and it’s shaping up nicely.

Still experimental, but a fun Friday afternoon rabbit hole. Watch this space. 🗺️

Geoinformation chatbot for the canton of Berne – Spatialists – geospatial news

The canton of Berne has launched a #chatbot on their geoinformation portal that lets users ask questions about available cantonal #geodata and its #metadata in natural language — in German, French, English, and more. It is not (yet?) a ‘talk to the map’ solution, but a discovery tool for navigating the website and finding data.

Day 89. World Earthquakes 🌍

What changes when earthquake data is treated as a visual signal instead of only a dataset?

This work was built in the context of the February 2023 Turkey/Syria earthquakes as an awareness-focused response.
