I wrote about the Swiss Rooftop Explorer, a fun little project of mine where you can explore the heights of buildings in Switzerland, https://blog.heuel.org/2025/02/swiss-roof-explorer/. From a tech perspective, it's cool as it doesn't need any server components other than static file hosting.

@geobabbler.bsky.social Hi Bill, Thanks for setting up geofeeds.me/view, very cool. I also started blogging again last month with my own blog blog.heuel.org. It would be great if you could add it to GeoFeeds, blog.heuel.org/feeds/all.at... resp blog.heuel.org/feeds/all.rs.... Thank you!

Frustrated with email marketing tools? Services like Mailchimp, though initially free, can become costly. For my blog, I have developed a GitHub-based solution that automatically sends newsletters from RSS with Listmonk, an open source mailing list manager

I used AI to enhance architectural documentation with an AI coding assistant, creating a C4 diagram for a Streamlit app in 5 minutes and 5 prompts. While not perfect, it shows AI's potential in documentation. More details:

Looking forward to today's #GeoBeerCH with @rastrau, Anne and Marc and the hosts FH Ost and Geocloud. Happy to talk about all things geo - and maybe about my new hobby - 3D printing: ask me about http://topoprint.ch/
