Jupyterlab extentions

[Casyfill]

Not exactly related to this project, but still - it would be awesome to have an alternative geojson extension (or alternative engine for the same extension), as current jupyterlab geojson viewer is very, very slow

Great idea @Casyfill! Since jupyterlab extensions are all written in JavaScript, it would be relatively straightforward to just replace the leaflet.js implementation of the geojson viewer with Mapbox GL JS. This mapboxgl-jupyter Python library is a useful reference implementation, but I would recommend starting from the vanilla Mapbox GL JS library for this solution. Happy to support you if you have any questions making a PR there.

@ryanbaumann May I ask, in which pull request was this closed?

@Juanlu001 should have added a comment here, apologies. I closed this issue because it doesn't directly relate to the mapboxgl-jupyter library. The idea here is to replace leaflet.js with mapboxgl.js in another Jupyter Lab extension, https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-renderers.

I opened a ticket in jupyterlab/jupyter-renderers#116 to track there.
