    I've been building https://github.com/styluslabs/maps with support for 3D terrain, custom layers, and plugins for search and routing. Vector tiles are generated and served on-deman…

    This is great! I recently built a simple project to generate and serve vector tiles on demand from a GOL file: https://github.com/styluslabs/geodesk-tiles

    I'm working on https://github.com/styluslabs/maps/ including a new 3D map engine (based on Tangram-ES) and JS plugin support, so while there is no offline routing yet, support for …

    I've built a server for generating OpenStreetMap vector tiles on demand from a GeoDesk database, which is barely larger than an .osm.pbf (100GB vs. 80GB for current planet.osm.pbf)…

    I believe QML ListView actually does support kinetic scrolling - Qt calls it "flicking". To get behavior closer to React Native, it might work to decrease the value of the Flickabl…

    GPU vector graphics library I released a few years ago: https://github.com/styluslabs/nanovgXC - basically a new backend for nanovg that supports arbitrary paths. Coverage calculat…

    Getting sufficient antialiasing quality for 2D graphics is difficult on GPUs. https://github.com/memononen/nanovg accomplishes this with GL2/GLES2 level hardware for most of the st…

    Regarding aluminum vs. steel - I've had two aluminum frames crack after a couple years of normal riding (no crashes). Trek, to their credit, honored their warranty and replaced the…

    For my cross-platform app, I was originally using Qt for desktop platforms and Android. I was fairly happy with Qt on the desktop, but less so on Android, in part because I was usi…

    One way that SVG could be used for multipage documents is with a convention that the top-level tag is the document and child tags are the pages - this is what I do in my app. I als…

    I've just released a fork of nanovg that does GPU rendering a bit like Pathfinder, so it can support arbitrary paths - nanovg's antialiasing has some issues with thin filled paths.…

    Seems to be the only one here with real stylus support - pressure sensitivity and draw with pen, pan with finger. Very nice!

    I'm hoping to add some rough OCR to allow searching in the future. In the meantime, if you turn off pressure sensitivity (Pen menu -> Custom Pen), you'll get raw strokes in the SVG…
