So much has happened in the last 3 months :) We have released many exciting tools for 3D on web maps or multi-screen working - like the "PointCloud on World Map" or the "3D Tiles Layer Demo". And quite impressive (at least technically, if not visually) is the "Multi-Tab Demo".

Wouldn't it be nice to visualize and explore S2 cell hierarchies for a given point on an interactive globe, I thought...

Here's using #Deck.gl's S2Layer on a @maplibre map.
Turns out quite useful I think, but there's still some work to be done to fully support globe views in Deck.gl (https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/issues/9199).

Code for this:

Since I've recently quit my job, I've enabled github sponsors now. Without any expectations, let's see if I can make a living as an #rstats #rspatial #whateverspatial opensource developer

Thanks to inspiration by @kylebarron I am currently deep diving into #deckgl and #geoarrow to enhance the geo-spatial visualisation toolkit available in #rstats #rspatial...
