#deckgl
That's the mercator tiles distorted as *input* try the ibcso chart - a technical question - not my expt is deckgl killer. Totally the pole is not a good place to dynamize in longlat, the point is you *can*. The vibe was my direction, and is exactly why I don't understand why you special case

can do it now without reprojection upfront and without deckgl just generic webgl canvas and PROJ:

But, the mathgl -> deckgl flow coming is definitely the best option, just it's weird this baked in Mercator-lock bound us so hard

I added custom Perfetto tracing to my DeckGL app kind of looking forward to studying the trace. But of course you just hand the JSON to claude and it instantly sucks it dry.

I originally asked "why is deckgl bound to mercator when it's warping via barycentric interpolation" and the answer was it doesn't have to be, and deckgl itself is generalising and has ported more of PROJ (and I think allows backend configuration which admits waam-proj hopefully)

Thanks for letting me know :) I've been meaning to try deckgl for a while, will look through.

I would add WebGL-based visualization libraries (e.g. #deckgl and #mapgl). They are not exactly super new but they're really centraly in how spatial data science has changed over the past 10-ish years.

ps. #GeoParquet, and #DuckDB + spatial ! would also be at the top of my list!
What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:

- New file formats (e.g. #GeoParquet)
- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids

What would you add?

Another great project built by @halimahexe.bsky.social. The Mayor's Community Weekend Map, is a searchable map of all the events happening across London over a weekend in September 2025! Built with #Svelte #DeckGL and our #LDNVizTools components.

#dataviz 📊 lessons learned (2)... turns out MacBooks are REALLY good these days! DeckGL running in the browser at 3K and captured with QuickTime with no lag or problems! Hooray! Let's see if Bluesky can handle 30secs of 1080p?

question, deckgl vs keplergl? for mapping, showing H3 analytics, 3d tiles. What are the pros?
November 28, 2024 at 8:14 PM
Impresive performance. Would be curious on the steps and stack to get that.
I'd go with data on geoParquet funeled through parquet-wasm to get an Arrow and pass it to deckgl binary to handle it directly on the GPU. Even then 789 million dots sound hard to handle 🤯

The monorepo is quite big and probably hard to follow 🥲
The app I shared is `fishing-map` and for the deckgl code the `libs` that are most relevant are `deck-layers` and `deck-loaders`.
Most of it is tightly coupled to our use case but maybe some layers or patterns could be reused.

Some binary data and shader code involved. #deckGL allows you to leverage GPU memory and computation.

Gonna start posting some of the #geospatial apps development I've been involved with in the last years.

With a unified API and minimal dependencies, you can easily work with backends like MapLibre, Mapbox, Leaflet, OpenLayers, DeckGL, KeplerGL, Cesium, and Potree.

We're actively developing this package and would love your contributions!
