Felt Reviews and Details

Is Felt good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• DuckDB is probably the most important geospatial software of the last decade

  I work on geospatial apps and the software I think I am most excited about is https://felt.com/. I want to seem them expand their tooling such that maps and data source authentication/authorization was controllable by the developer, to enable tenant isolation with propriety data access. They could really disrupt how geospatial tech gets integrated into consumer apps. This article doesn't acknowledge how niche this... - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2025)

  Felt | Senior Infrastructure Engineer, Growth Product Manager | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US only) | Full Time | https://felt.com Felt is building a cloud-based geographic information systems (GIS) solution and have hundreds of customers already using it to run their operations, processing terabytes of data.

• Show HN: Atlas – Make maps like never before

  How does this compare to Felt [1]? It would be nice to have some plans with listed prices in between "Free" and "Enterprise" ("book a demo"). For comparison, Felt has $30/mo and $90/mo plans. Calling yourselves "the new standard for GIS software" seems like overly strong branding. [1]: https://felt.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2023)

  Felt | Engineering Manager, App and Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Placemark is going open source and shutting down

  For anyone else who follows along in this domain, there's an interesting competitor in the space I stumbled across recently: https://felt.com/ Pretty nice looking product and robust feature set. Love to see GIS tooling becoming more accessible. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Does anyone else wish the geospatial community was more open (like GitHub)?

  There are pockets of truly open geodata though, like OpenStreetMap (even though it only services a very specific kind of geodata). People also put a lot of spatial data on Zenodo. There are even platforms out there built for almost exactly what you describe, like Koordinates and Felt, as well as means of managing your data in a way similar to managing source files, like Kart.

• Ask HN: Is there a event seating plan tool but for cars?

  I don't know if there's a readymade tool for this, but maybe you could plot it as a collaborative map so that it's clear which drivers/passengers are close to each other? Something like https://felt.com/ might help Or there's this that I've used before, but I think it's really just a signup list and not something that automatically tries to geo-optimize your routes or anything:... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Tips in Creating Building Footprints

  I can also suggest an alternative tool called Felt (disclaimer: I work there, but it's still pretty cool!). One of the really cool things about Felt is that you can clip features directly out of a data layer, or even the basemap. We've got a pretty awesome public Buildings layer sourced from the Daylight Map Distribution that includes all OSM buildings + all Microsoft Building Footprints. It actually includes many...

• We just released a QGIS Plugin for pushing layers into Felt and would love some feedback from the community!

  We see lots of users doing their data editing & analysis in QGIS, then exporting and uploading to Felt to easily share with colleagues. It seemed natural to build a QGIS Plugin that would remove some friction from that process and luckily our friends at North Road built it for us! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Alternatives to Esri Web App Builder?

  If you're looking a simple and intuitive way to have a web map that you can share with a link you might want to check out Felt. Disclaimer: I work there, but it's still some really cool (and free!) software. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Best Product to use for Interactive Maps

  Disclaimer: I work as a Data Curator at Felt so I'm pretty biased, but we're building some pretty cool (and free!) stuff. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Not sure but Felt may help. Helps to build beautiful maps. Source: about 2 years ago

• Help with uMap and images

  I don't know much about uMap but you might give Felt a shot. If you drag geotagged images onto it, you'll get the option to move the photo to the lat/long where it was taken. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best and "lite" way to represent open data on Google map

  Felt (https://felt.com/) is a newer player in the mapping space but is comprised of smart folks who have worked at places like CARTO, Mapbox, HERE, and Stamen. Their map builder is quite powerful getting better everyday. Source: over 2 years ago

• OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder

  You might be interested in what they are building at http://felt.com/ they have a lot of great data sets already built in and it can handle imports of all kinds of mapping data. Not for actually updating the core data of maps, but seems like the tool to address the UX of mapping multiple types of data and presenting or exploring it. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
