This needs really solid Metal support or it won't be adopted on mobile.

(Copied from another thread)

There is active development on a Metal-supporting version.

https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/tree/metal-su... is the branch and https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/issues?q=is%3... are associated issues.

I don’t see any support for alternate projections. For my raster-based dataset (satellite data) of polar regions I don’t see any benefit over my current openlayers approach. Looks great for vector-based 4326/3857 projected data, though! Please let me know if I’ve overlooked projection support?

This is definitely something I'd love to see. We have a lot of data in EPSG:27700 and having to reproject everything to 3857 to display to users is A) wrong and B) seriously messy and intensive for the backend servers, especially with raster tiles...

This is going to be a good test of my rule that any project with "libre" in the name -- except, as my astute colleague pointed out, libreadline -- is doomed to failure.

Libreoffice is the main project now when they left openoffice.

Using LibreOffice is like being constantly insulted and abused by its authors. I think it is the outstanding example of "libre == junk".

Umm. What?

Insulted? Abused? What are you talking about?

Same acceleration bug with Firefox under Linux that makes me hates Mapbox GL with passion ... Makes quite a lot of website unbearably unusable ... Would you please provide a way for the user to deactivate that terrible idea ? Thanks.

Can you please report this on our issue queue? From a cursory search, it doesn't look like anyone complained about scroll zoom on Firefox under Linux before. We'd be happy to fix this after hearing more details. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues

I have nothing concrete to report, I slide 2cm, it works, settle down, slide 2 more and it goes nuts or not. Impredictable UX. But it's cool and flashy. I just avoid sites using mapbox-gl as much as I can...

Or, you could help us fix the issue so that all Mapbox maps work great for you? Could you record a screencap of this issue and submit a GitHub ticket? We honestly have never seen anything like this ever reported.
