🔥 What if printing in your GIS stopped feeling like 2012? We've been quietly building something at GeoSolutions, and today I want to show you a first glimpse. 👀 ➡️ A brand new Print Composer for MapStore, GeoNode and GeoServer. Not a tweak. Not a refresh. A full WYSIWYG rethink. 🎨 Drag maps, legends, scale bars, titles, images and text onto a real paper canvas. 📄 Multi-page. True-to-scale. Works for maps, dashboards AND GeoStories. 🔌 Backend-agnostic by design, we're testing both GeoServer and QGIS Server as rendering engines, so teams can keep the stack they already trust and still get a modern composer on top. 🧩 Plus two ideas that could be game-changers: • Atlas mode → one page per feature, auto-generated. Entire map books in seconds. • Smart templates → admins design once, placeholders fill themselves from the current map / dashboard / GeoStory. ⚡ This is an MVP, not a slideware PoC. It's running. It's interactive. You can see it in the clip below. And we're about to kick off Phase 2, industrialization, hardening, and production rollout. 🔓 And yes, it will be released as open source. Like everything else we build. Which is exactly why we want to hear from you NOW, not after. 💬 🎥 30-second demo attached ⬇️ 👉 Tell us: 1️⃣ Which direction would unlock the biggest value for you — visual composer, Atlas mode, or smart templates? 2️⃣ What's the one printing pain point you've been living with for years? Your answers genuinely shape what ships in Phase 2. 💡 Interested in helping fund Phase 2? Shared funding means a better product for everyone, faster. Get in touch and and let's talk, every contribution, big or small, accelerates the roadmap and earns you a voice in the priorities. Shout-out to Stefano Bovio, Andrea Aime and Giovanni Allegri for driving this forward, and to the broader MapStore / GeoNode community for the continuous push. 🙏 #MapStore #GeoNode #GeoServer #QGIS #OpenSource #GIS #FOSS4G #Geospatial #DigitalTwin #OSGEO
