πŸš€ Leafmap now supports creating layer groups! πŸŽ‰ Easily manage the visibility of multiple layers at onceβ€”perfect for toggling them on or off with just a click. Check it out! πŸ‘‰ github.com/opengeos/lea... #geospatial #Leafmap #MapLibre #opensource

πŸš€ Excited to share the draft Table of Contents for my upcoming book, "Introduction to GIS Programming: A Practical #Python Guide to Open Source Geospatial Tools." πŸ“š github.com/giswqs/intro... πŸ“… Aiming for a July 2025 release! Stay tuned!

🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I received the University of Tennessee Library Partner Award for my contributions to the Open Science Workshop and Symposium (openscience.gishub.org). Huge thanks to my colleagues for the nomination and to our department and college for their support!

🌍 I've developed an interactive web app that allows you to search and visualize open geospatial data from the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI). Try it out: πŸ”— Web App: huggingface.co/spaces/giswq... πŸ“‚ GitHub: github.com/opengeos/Ama... πŸŽ₯ Video: youtu.be/aB1LRfrcaO8

πŸš€ Exciting Leafmap Updates! 🌍 I have created a brand-new sidebar for seamless interaction with 3D maps! Control layer styles effortlessly and add custom widgets directly in the sidebar. Enjoy bidirectional functionality with ipywidgets. Plus, deploy interactive web apps with Solara.

Just wrapped up the spring semester! πŸŽ‰ I'm incredibly grateful for the positive feedback from my students in the Geographic Software Design course at the University of Tennessee. #Geospatial #Mapping #Python #OpenSource

🌿 Introducing Leafmap's new sidebar widget for MapLibre! πŸ”Ή Easily add custom widgets like legends, colorbars, images, videos, HTML, and ipywidgets. πŸ”Ή Dynamically adjust the sidebar width for optimal space. πŸ”Ή Manage layer visibility and opacity effortlessly. github.com/opengeos/lea...

πŸš€ Excited to share a sneak peek of the latest #Leafmap feature: a new sidebar widget and layer manager for #MapLibre! 🌍 Now you can easily control layer visibility, opacity, style, and more with the interactive GUI. github.com/opengeos/lea... #geospatial #mapping #python
