any way to add raster data or more conventional basemaps like those from USGS or google, etc?

interesting to see this released. Have used DeckGL previously for data viz (DeckGl is well done and easy to use if looking for a javascript/node dataviz toolset), so rather nice to see the spatial demos, packaged up and built out simplifying adoption for geospatial apps. very cool.

The option is not in the demo, but looks like you have to do a custom build and use mapbox stylesheet for base maps.

This is pretty great. After banging my head over the weird state of python + GIS for the past month and a half, this feels very welcome.

Also, is it down for anyone else? As soon as I tried uploading a file, it became unresponsive..

The demo looks like it's all client side. How big is your geojson?

A bit over a gig. I'll make it smaller and try again!

Yes, integrated into kepler.gl is the ability to add a custom Mapbox GL style created in Mapbox Studio. You can design a custom map, add custom data from a shapefile, geojson, or geoTIFF file, and pull it into your kepler.gl dashboard.
