To read and write #stac-geoparquet, you can use:

- The original reference implementation: github.com/stac-utils/s...
- A newer implementation with a lower-level API: github.com/stac-utils/r...

The tooling story is a little confusing, and we're working on it. See github.com/stac-utils/s... for more

We'll be working on the issue backlog, adding more documentation and examples, all with an intention of pushing to a v1.0 of the specification. Get involved via Github github.com/radiantearth... or by playing with #stac-geoparquet yourself!

We recently completed the move of the #stac-geoparquet specification documents to a new repository in the @radiant.earth Github org: github.com/radiantearth...

My optimistic take is that systems-level thinkers from other domains can learn how to build durability later-career, while bringing their domain expertise to the problem

Not sure though. Durability is hard, and often quite manual...

I think the primary use case would/should be data providers creating and statically serving stac-geoparquet

End users can use stac-geoparquet as a smaller, more useful export format (you can do this now in stac-map from a search) but this is a bit more niche

Frontend dev can be really frustrating, but it's fun to make a thing that you can play with

Consider this an alpha release

If you have ideas, changes, "Pete what are you doing this is a waste of time" comments, send them my way

Repo is here: github.com/developments...

The best we can do is try to build real relationships, however we can.

That at least gives you something to fall back on when you get it wrong.

Recognizing the signs when a ✔️ isn't enough is hard. Sometimes I miss. I still don't have a formula to do it right, I feel like I'm constantly working on The Right Way

Which is kinda fun, in its own way
