OpenGrid – Chicago Releases User-Friendly Open Data Tool

The readme is a bit short. In the docs are the actual requirements for the "OpenGrid Service":

  A web server for hosting User Interface application
  An Java EE application server for deploying service layer (the service template implementation has been tested with JBoss EAP 6.2)
  MongoDB version 3.0.6 for storing data and template service layer configuration

Man, I know mongo has some geolocation tools but I would really like to see this with a better database. Good on Chicago for doing a professional job releasing this software though!

I'd love to try this out, but Chrome has disabled geolocation for any non-HTTPS sites: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/Home/chromium-se...

That picture of Chicago is pretty cool, but it's really annoying to have to load a 5.3 MB picture when opening a site.
