mapzy VS Jspreadsheet CE

I haven an open-source app (it's a store finder) that also uses Docker and Redis. Have a look at the GitHub repo, maybe there's something to help you there in my setup?

Mapzy is a store finder, and like Fugu it focuses on simplicity. Again, I've created it because the store finders out there were either ugly, too complex and/or expensive, and not privacy-focused. Read more on mapzy.io

If you're interested in the code, have a look at location_imports_controller.rb, location_import.rb, and batch_geocode_worker.rb.

I contribute to Our World In Data [0] and some of the Rails repos. I also run my own open source projects [1][2].

I've just recently started doing it, and I only put in a few hours each week. Slow and steady wins the race. My motivation is three-fold: First, it's gratifying to give something back to software I love using for free. Second, I learn a lot. Third, if I ever want to work with one of the companies who are stewarding these repos, it gives me a leg up in the application process.

I've been trying out Jekyll for a new side project's static website and of course added my favorite CSS framework, Tailwind, into the mix. However, after adding Tailwind with PostCSS I began to see very slow build times. Generating the site went from less than a second to more than 30 seconds. Waiting this long to see every change you do makes working with Jekyll impossible.

For the spreadsheet, we use the excellent Jspreadsheet library. If there are no errors, the import happens in two steps because importing a lot of locations requires a lot of calls to the Mapbox geocoding API (geocoding is converting an address to longitude and latitude), which is rate limited.

There is a presentation at FOSDEM 2021 about FDL: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/fosstaxbreak/

Title: Give open source a (tax) break

Cash that gets into FDL/LEF is then spent to sponsor existing FLOSS projects or to acquire intellectual property rights of existing works and change their license to FLOSS.

Case 1: https://bossanova.uk/jspreadsheet/v4/ got financed partly by FDL/LEF

Case 2: the radio hardware of the Open Radio Station (a 4G/5G vRAN base station based on Amarisoft stack and SlapOS) is in the process of being acquired and released as open source hardware. See https://shop.rapid.space/product_module/241/Resource_viewAsS...

The requirement for PhD is here to ensure that all projects that are financed by FDL/LEF have some kind of general interest or innovation, something which is useful to comply with Tax Law

Yeah maybe in that case you can use jspreadsheet
