Here is an update on what I'm working on. #buildinpublic

I'm exploring auto styling #OGC Vectortiles in #mapstyler. In this example, the population density is styled based on a user defined color. Very happy with these first results.

I'm just not sure about the map readability of this implementation. The coloring scheme is of course dependent on the distribution of the data. So I guess additional options for categorization of the data are needed.

A new version of https://mapstyler.com is available! New features are amongst other:

- Applying data filters
- Styling based on data filters
- Beta support for OGC Vector Tiles

Here is an update on my side project #mapstyler.

The app allows you to easily create styles for vector datasets based on the Mapbox Style Specification. You can host the styles on a server and easily import them into your #geo #webapp running #openlayers, #leaflet or any other library that supports style json's.

I worked on implementing styling based on property filters. Check out demo below.

It's work in progress. Will put this online in near future.

Finally found some time to work on #mapstyler again, my side project. It's an app for designing styles for (online) vector data.

I added a first implementation of OGC API Vectortiles as a datasource for a style. It's in beta, so let me know if you run into issues.

The VectorTile scene in #webgis is a mess. A standard is lacking, on so much levels.

I'm working on implementing support for VectorTiles in https://mapstyler.com. It's though. I find myself jumping through all kind of burning hoops and crashing into errors and undefineds.

Answers on stackoverflow include "[..] there is no way to know."

I scoped #mapstyler down to first supporting OGC Tiles API. From there we will see!

Expect a working update soon. I will need testers!

Adding an option to #mapstyler for choosing a new data type: vectortile URL.

It appears to be more complex than I thought.

Functionalities such as loading data from the source and extracting geometry type of the data, are done differently for each data source. This can potentially introduce a lot of spaghetti. Which is fine on my plate, but not in my code 🍝

This is where design patterns come into play. I decided to implement the strategy design pattern to simplify my code in the frontend.

Surprise! Say Hi to https://mapstyler.com! My side project I have been working on the last few days.

A tool to quickly design simple styles for your vector data and interactive webmap applications.

It's work in progress and many more features will come. But here is a first super basic version. #mapstyler #webgis #openlayers #geospatial
