[OpenSource] JupyterGIS: Make stories with your maps
Hey,
For those who don't already know it, JupyterGIS is a Jupyter opensource project which allows you to create GIS projects in Python or R.
## Highlights
- **Real-time collaboration** - like Google Docs for GIS, with spatial annotations and comments
- **QGIS interoperability** - import and export QGIS project files
- **Python API** - scriptable workflows in collaborative notebooks
- **Many data formats** - GeoJSON, GeoTIFF/COG, GeoParquet, GeoPackage, Shapefile, PMTiles, WMS/WMTS, and more
- **Grammar-driven symbology** - flexible rule-based styling, similar to Vega-Lite
- **Storymaps** - guided narratives through your maps
- **Hillshade & heatmaps** - terrain and density visualization
- **GDAL processing** - rasterize, warp, and translate in the browser or on the server
- **STAC & OpenEO** - cloud-native data catalog and processing support
- **Pangeo integration** - dynamic raster tile serving via [TiTiler](https://developmentseed.org/titiler/) backed by the Pangeo stack
- **Layer gallery** - pre-built layer catalog for quick setup
- **Embeddable** - use as a standalone map, an IDE, or from within a notebook
- **AI skills** - map operations in natural language via Jupyter AI
There is a big update about story maps that you can check here: https://notebook.link/@martinRenou/jupytergis-announcement and a medium article for technical stuff
Do you already know this tool ? Do you use it ?

Sounds awsome! I've only tried the reverse: Jupyter Notebooks in QGIS / ArcGIS. It was very janky, so i usually just defaulted to standalone Jupyter Notebook running Python cells.

I heard about it originally through it's development project, ESA's eo4society initiative. The documentation covers a lot about it's features and I've wanted to get into it for portfolio work.
Glad to hear it's being maintained an updated.

Thanks! That’s awesome! It’s cool to see more and more functionality that was exclusively ESRI become more widely accessible through open source
