Visualizing Success: Year One of the OpenVis Collaboration Space
summary
OpenVis Collaboration Space turns one and reports concrete wins: donated projects deck.gl, kepler.gl and vis.gl moved to TypeScript, deck.gl now at 136,000 weekly downloads and doubling growth, kepler.gl serves ~30,000 weekly users, and the Madrid summit drew ~100 contributors. Demos include 10 million points parsed and rendered in real time and a million-building footprint demo using Apache Arrow/Parquet. New features shipped: GPU-based collision and terrain extensions, react-map-gl v7 rewrite, Google Maps 3D tiles integration, Flowmap.gl joining, and faster dev tooling (Vite/esbuild) — all production-ready.
