Looking for Collaborators - Open-Source Desktop Map

[VenkataKondepati]

Most GIS platforms were designed for a different era.

Before AI agents.
Before cloud-native analytics.
Before real-time spatial intelligence.

So I started building NexaMap — an open-source GIS platform designed for the next generation of geospatial systems.

Think:

🗺️ GIS + AI
☁️ GIS + Modern Data Platforms
⚡ GIS + Real-time Analytics
🤖 GIS + Agentic Workflows

Current capabilities already include:

✔️ Interactive desktop GIS experience
✔️ Spatial analysis & editing
✔️ GeoJSON / Shapefile / KML / GeoPackage support
✔️ Direct integration with DuckDB, Snowflake, Databricks, Apache Iceberg
✔️ Extensible Electron-based architecture

But this is bigger than a map viewer.

The vision is to create an intelligent geospatial platform where:

• AI agents can reason spatially
• Massive datasets can be queried instantly
• Spatial workflows become composable
• Developers can build domain-specific GeoAI applications

I’m looking for collaborators who want to help shape this vision.

Especially:

• GIS Engineers
• Electron / Frontend Developers
• GeoAI Researchers
• Data Engineers
• Open-source contributors
• Anyone excited about the future of spatial computing

If this space interests you, let’s build together.
