Show HN: I built custom GIS Engine for investment mapping Hi, Out of desperation using slow and expensive ESRI ArcGIS, we're building a custom GIS engine to facilitate presentation layers for urban mapping that is easier to code and communicate with other smaller applications. The app we built was meant to help local people or investors perform preliminary due diligence using location-specific parameters (demographic profile, zoning regulation, business requirements, POIs, indexes, and potential calculator). With this app, we're helping people to assess which location is best to build their next business. We also managed to add machine learning rendered of zoning prediction model into the app. You can try our prototype here https://ift.tt/mWJsF6j . There is a guest account with password in the login form so you can try limited features. Simply click (and zoom in and out) on the map to start. Very sorry it was all in Bahasa (not ready in English yet), but I do hope you get the idea. We are delightful with the response we received from delegations of City of Berlin and City of Bangkok during their visit upon seeing this app. Next, we're building custom spatial repository in order to replace ESRI ArcGIS completely. Do you think this app has potential for success if we release for public use? Users would be from city administers or maybe business organizers. Let me know your thoughts. https://ift.tt/dokuzEa May 15, 2023 at 01:04AM
