GeoLibre just passed 1,000 stars on GitHub, in only three weeks!

I am blown away. GeoLibre went public on May 27, and the community has already pushed it past 1,000 stars and 140+ forks. Thank you to everyone who starred, forked, filed issues, opened pull requests, and shared the project.

For those just discovering it: GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private.

A few things that have resonated with the community:

• Runs anywhere: the same app ships as a native desktop app, a browser web app, a native Android app, and a Jupyter widget.
• Local and private by default: load and analyze GeoJSON, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, Shapefile, COG, LiDAR, 3D Tiles, and more, right in the browser.
• Powered by open source: built on MapLibre GL JS, DuckDB-WASM Spatial, deck.gl, Tauri, React, and TypeScript.
• Spatial SQL in the browser: query your data with DuckDB Spatial, PostGIS via PGlite, and Apache Sedona.
• Extensible: a growing plugin system for cloud data, federal web services, and custom tools.

Three weeks in, we have already shipped five releases, the latest being v1.5.0. There is a lot more on the roadmap, and the best way to shape it is to jump in.
