I actually think there’s a fairly large gap for new and innovative geospatial tools/solutions in the open-source space.

It’s true that alot of databases that have “Support for Geospatial” - but that can mean a a lot of things, often with little overlap in functionality, or very specific, inflexible access patterns that breakdown with even small variations in the problem.

I don’t think it’s too uncommon to find that none of the available solutions work for particular real world problems, and often it comes down to handcrafted solutions like this.
