Seeking recommendations for a #WebMapping tutorial / course?

Slightly at sea on where to start.

- My current JS skill level is _extreme novice_.
- I don't have access to ArcGIS.
- Comfortable with #QGIS [*] and the #python #geospatial ecosystem (#geopandas #xarray #rasterio and plotting with #matplotlib)

Suggestions welcome. TIA. 👍

* I have looked at the qgis2web plugin, but having some issues associated with my aged laptop (2012 mbp running Ubuntu) and a 'Wayland session'.

Unabhängig davon, ob Faktenchecks tatsächlich gelesen werden, quält mich die Frage: Wie lange hat man als Redaktion wohl Zeit, einen Faktencheck zu erarbeiten?

Hier ein Versuch das Aufmerksamkeitspotential für einen Faktencheck über Bluesky bzw Mastodon Posts abzubilden:

I’m trying to digitally recreate a vintage style world map with two hemispheres (Old World and New World) and two polar regions and where the world is as it is known by Europeans in 1700. (So Abel Tasman had already seen the western coast of New Zealand and the southern tip of Tasmania.)

Next, I’ll add labels, but anachronistically using current names. (Nope, never “Gulf of America”.)

Data source: #NaturalEarth; rendering: HTML/SVG + #D3js

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣8️⃣: The blue planet

Belated entry and catching up coz I needed a break! 😅

Anyway, I figured doing a variant of my North American lakes map from 2023 but for the #Philippines 🇵🇭 would be perfect for this day’s theme: en.osm.town/@seav/111382405567

Sources and tools: Map data from #OpenStreetMap; top ten lakes from #Wikipedia; rendering via #D3js using an azimuthal equal-area projection for each of the lakes.

Continued thread

Because the rhombic triacontahedron, which consists of 30 identical rhombi, is a Catalan solid, it means that it has an inscribed sphere (aka insphere) which makes creating a world map easy: just render a gnomonic map for each face!

So I used #D3js to render 30 different gnomonic maps and quite a bit of trigonometric skills to assemble the final map as a polyhedral net.

I then printed it, cut it, folded it, taped it, et voilà! I now have a nifty 30-sided globe! 🌍
