Atlas.co wants its web-based mapping tool to be the Figma of geospatial data | TechCrunch
Briefly

"When we took introduction class to GIS, half of the class wasn't able to download it because their computer didn't meet the requirements of the software... that's a barrier in general."
"Atlas wants to unlock the power of GIS data in a similar way, sidestepping the drag and cost of legacy software by offering a more flexible, user-friendly cloud-based collaboration platform."
"Typical users so far include people working in renewable energy development, urban planning and real-estate... maps can be a powerful way to quickly convey information."
"Running Atlas doesn't require particularly powerful computer hardware, nor does software need to be downloaded and installed, as everything runs in the browser."
