I’m a maintainer for vis.gl (deck.gl and react-map-gl), and am existed you’re focusing on infrastructure components. Open data and nav/location solver services are key for many applications, and today most options for what I’d consider “the basics” are proprietary/commercial. I’m all for paying for good work.. but I’d like to see the funds go towards bleeding edge, and see long-established solutions become open and easy to use.

Clearly, I did some location-based pub/sub research in the past and the lack of open source infrastructure components was an important motivation for Baremaps. Today, the open source ecosystem in this area is moving fast and I think we are pretty close from a having high quality options for all the main infrastructure components (map, geocoder, reverse geocoder, ip to location, routing, TSP, etc.).
