Dropchop is a browser-based GIS powered by Mapbox.js and Turf.js. The need for small-scale GIS operations comes up quite frequently in our work, especially for those without much time. Dropchop aims to empower your spatial data by removing complexity. This project is currently a proof-of-concept and explores three hypotheses:

  1. GIS can be data-first, not operation-first.
  2. GIS doesn't always require a server.
  3. GIS is open.

Dropchop uses a good number of modular, operation-specific tools created by an active and welcoming community. Currently, the app uses Mapbox.js, Turf.js, jQuery, Font Awesome, Geoglyphs, browser filesaver, shp-write, and is compiled using Gulp.

The project is maintained by the great people of CUGOS, a open geospatial community in the Pacific Northwest.
