Trevor Gerhardt reposted thisTrevor Gerhardt reposted thisGeoLibre v1.2.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. One application that runs everywhere: in your web browser, as a native desktop app, on your phone, and inside a Jupyter notebook. No account, no server, no cost. Everything runs locally and your data stays private. This release packs in 35+ pull requests of new capabilities. A few highlights: - Run SQL right in the browser. The SQL Workspace pairs DuckDB Spatial with a new in-browser PostGIS engine (PGlite), so you can query layers, local files, and remote URLs without a server. - A smarter attribute table. Add fields, run a field calculator, and explore your data with a built-in Charts panel (histogram, scatter, bar, line, and box plots). - More ways to add data. OpenStreetMap PBF extracts, Cloud-Optimized NetCDF/HDF via kerchunk, georeferenced video overlays, authenticated 3D Tiles, and a deck.gl Layer builder for custom overlays. - Better visualization. Heatmap rendering, point clustering, and H3 hexagonal grids for spatial binning. - New analysis and routing. A Directions plugin, plus Spatial Join, Select by Value, and Select by Location vector tools. - Print and share. A print layout composer that exports your map to PNG or PDF. - Work faster. A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + K), global keyboard shortcuts, and undo/redo for layer and style operations. - Built for everyone. New internationalization framework, an accessibility pass with automated axe checks, an installable offline-capable PWA web build, React error boundaries, and Playwright end-to-end tests.

Trevor Gerhardt reposted thisTrevor Gerhardt reposted thisWe’ve been working on Osmix (https://osmix.dev): a high-performance OpenStreetMap toolkit for TypeScript that can read, query, merge, and transform OSM PBFs in the browser. It’s built around modern streaming, Web Workers, and compact typed-array based storage with indexing (via KDBush/Flatbush) so spatial queries stay fast and UIs stay responsive even on large extracts (it can parse/index/render ~200MB Washington State PBF locally in under ~45s, no backend required). Using Osmix, we built a special purpose tool (https://merge.osmix.dev) to speed up data preparation workflows which required merging the valuable OpenSidewalks data onto baseline street network.

Trevor Gerhardt liked thisTrevor Gerhardt liked thisThis year marks 10 years since I started working remotely. My first remote job wasn't just a job. It was leading a Remote Year program, a one-year program where a group of remote workers lived, traveled and worked together around the world. Recently, I was looking through my camera roll and realized the photos tell the story of the last 10 years better than I ever could. ✈️ Working from airport lounges because I thought every spare minute had to be productive. 🛳️ Taking calls from the deck of a ferry on the way to Koh Phangan. 🚪 Hiding in a storage room because it was the only quiet place for a meeting. 🦄 Even having a 1:1 from a unicorn floating in the Adriatic Sea. Looking back, I realized those photos tell one story. But they're not the story I remember most. When I started, I thought remote work was about location. Then I thought it was about productivity. Making every airport lounge, ferry ride and café count. Ten years later, I see it differently. Remote work was never really about where I could work. It was about having the flexibility to adapt work to whatever life looked like at the time. Today, I work at Surf Office where I help companies bring their teams together through company offsites. In a way, it feels like a full-circle moment. I started my remote career in a community built around bringing remote workers together. Now I get to help companies create those same moments of connection for their own teams. After 10 years, one thing feels more true than ever: Remote work gives us flexibility. Time together gives us connection. The best workplaces make space for both.

Trevor Gerhardt liked thisTrevor Gerhardt liked thisWhen something new is taking shape, it’s always valuable to come together in person. Earlier this year, we shared that Conveyal is joining EBP. Last week, we brought the Conveyal team and EBP Schweiz colleagues together in Zurich for a two‑day workshop: a key moment to connect, exchange perspectives – and have a good time! Over the two days, we explored how the strengths of Conveyal’s accessibility and scenario-planning platform can amplify EBP Switzerland’s work across metropolitan planning and mobility projects in Europe. By combining our complementary expertise, we see exciting opportunities to help clients make decisions that are faster, more data-driven, and better aligned with long-term sustainability goals. Just as importantly, the workshop gave us space to build relationships and understand how we work. There was even some time for trainspotting during an "urban development walk"! As we’ve experienced many times in our work: Knowing each other makes collaborations easier and outcomes better. We’re looking forward to the many shared projects ahead. Let’s shape the future together!

This analysis leverages OS-CONNECT, the amazing statewide sidewalk dataset developed by the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology, as well as a new browser-based tool for working with OpenStreetMap data developed by my colleague Trevor Gerhardt. Looking forward to the discussion!

Our daily software demands invasive levels of access, such as of our location and calendar contents, for a thin promise of "convenient features"...and yet, for all that, I've NEVER seen a calendar service that automatically suggests transit time based on current road conditions and present location. They could, and that would actually be useful. But no, because it was never about the users.

What does "Investing in Design" look like for companies? Large companies are Investing in design. Earlier stage companies are saying "Design matters to us". Where does that actually show up? There's a lot of layers this can permeate through. Some broad ways in no particular order; - Design in Leadership roles, working together to steer strategy and impact - Investment in Design resource, what's the head count? - Investment in Design Headcount in specialty areas, Motion, illustration, Brand, Writing, Dedicated Design Systems - Market salaries (don't have to over pay, but definitely don't be under-paying!) - % of Designers work time freed up for play and exploration - Offsites, work trips...bringing Designers together to inspire them and fuel their creative cups - Retention incentives, learning and development stipends, equipment etc etc. - Access to tooling resources (Want them to bolster their ai skills...get them access to ai tools!) What else you can add, I'm barely scratching the surface right? If a company is doing these things - great. Those are quality signals. If they're not, but they say they're "invested in design"... dig deeper and think twice.
