Oh so exciting!!!

I’ve been looking for an alternative to CARTO, their sales reps are awful and their pricing is wildly expensive and opaque.

I had to look this up. You are talking about Carta Maps? That's different from what this audience will think of when we read Carta but ironically your comment is the same.

They probably mean CARTO, formerly known as CartoDB.

Nice to see kepler.gl getting some love here!

Funny enough, I just released an open-source, opinionated map editor built on top of kepler.gl with their DuckDB integration — yesterday! If anyone's curious to see how it all fits together, feel free to check it out here: https://github.com/mountayaapp/insight-editor.

DuckDB integration is a game-changer for geospatial visualization since it enables client-side processing of massive datasets without server roundtrips, significantly reducing the performance bottlenecks typical in browser-based GIS tools.

The marketing page needs some work on mobile but otherwise a cool library.

Export your phones GPS pings and then use this to render a heat map of the most frequently used locations :)
