Zooming User Interface (ZUI)
You probably know this, but in Google Maps at least, you can use browser zoom (ctrl/cmd +/-) to change the size of labels without zooming into the actual map.
------
Speaking of maps, I got to work a fun zoom project a few years ago: https://map.fieldmuseum.org/
We used https://openlayers.org/ and thought long and hard about how to best handle zooming and variable levels of information density & visual hierarchy. If you zoom all the way out, we just highlight where the building is relative to the surroundings. As you start to zoom in, we start to highlight major exhibitions and entrances. Then as you zoom in more, we start showing recommended paths, smaller exhibitions, etc. The label sizes try to scale up and down at each level, smoothly, in order to balance readability and density.
Eventually you can reach the max zoom level and the labels will just grow bigger and bigger, but the SVGs dynamically shrink so they remain pictograms and not just contextless-lines.
Then if you keep going, you eventually find microscopic easter eggs :)
The code is pretty jank (and abandoned), but it's FOSS vanilla JS/HTML/CSS, and the only dependency is on OpenLayers: https://github.com/arcataroger/openlayers_indoor_map

Handling files in enterprise web solutions
In order to display the GeoJSON features on a map, we will use OpenLayers, which is a very powerful open-source mapping library that is also very simple to use.

5 JavaScript mapping APIs compared
OpenLayers is available via the ol npm package, offering developers a powerful toolkit for creating sophisticated maps. Here is a JavaScript implementation that utilizes OpenLayers to showcase a map:

I'm a senior in my CS major and it's incredible I didn't hear about GIS projects until now. Glad to be here.
For web maps I'd strongly recommend using OpenLayers. While it's less convenient to get started with compared to the alternatives it's also much more feature-complete and you'll likely hit a ceiling in terms of functionality much later than you would with the others.

Ask HN: What packages can be used to create interactive mathematics simulations?
Well, MathML[1] support is (nearly) everywhere now, and as the docs say:
MathML Core is a subset with increased implementation details based on rules from LaTeX and the Open Font Format. It is tailored for browsers and designed specifically to work well with other web standards including HTML, CSS, DOM, JavaScript.
I don't have a lot of experience working with this stuff (yet) but if you can script your MathML objects with Javascript, you should be able to make whatever interactive "stuff" you want in terms of math notation. Now drawing objects and plots and stuff is a different question.
There's stuff like Plotly[2], D3[3], Sigma[4], etc. that might be useful depending on exactly what effects you're going for.
