Free GIS App Runs Maps in Your Browser

The story

What the video said

This open source GitHub project turns your web browser into a full GIS app for maps and data. You can view, explore, and analyze geospatial data without installing heavy desktop software.

You already have map files on your computer. You want to open them, style the layers, and run analysis, but you do not want to upload private data to a server or install a big program.

GeoLibre is a free, open source GIS app that runs in your browser, on desktop, and on mobile. It keeps your data local and private, and it works on many devices.

The app shows a live map of New York City buildings. You can load local files, run over one thousand geoprocessing tools in the browser, and see the results on the map right away.

It is free and open source, so you can use it without paying or sending your data away. Would you use this kind of browser based workflow for your own map projects?
