Hi folks! I'm excited to show you gis.chat, a geospatial chat platform in both senses: a platform about geospatial topics and a geospatial platform itself, referencing the location of our communities. The setup is fairly simple and reproducible: a plain Zulip instance and a homepage with geospatial search capabilities. It seems almost trivial but it has some very nice features. I guess you should be familiar with Zulips stream/topic model to follow along (https://zulip.com/help/streams-and-topics). The core idea is that there are city-specific streams (currently…
