I have got great, absolutely amazing joy today from my own open source experiment. In 2014, nearly 2 years ago, I have published on GitHub (gist) L.CanvasOverlay a small class to handle generic drawing on top of Leaflet, I was thinking let’s try to contribute back to the open source with this little snippet – I thought would be useful so I have added little description. Original blog post here: https://blog.sumbera.com/2014/04/20/leaflet-canvas/
After few months later I found it is used on http://windyty.com one of the best 2015 geo-visualization with huge popularity. It is a small part of this great app, but makes me feel so good like I am part of it, I am looking on something where is my small piece, small share…meaning of the effort, sense of publishing and open sourcing.
And today I have got echo it is used also in Marine National Facility here: http://www.cmar.csiro.au/data/underway.test/
This makes me so happy … and just came across this quote : “Revenue is a lagging indicator, usage is a leading indicator,” can’t remember, who just said that ? :)
