Also happy to work on something too.
Perhaps in combo with my other thought for a mapbox workshop / JS
libraries? (Which I haven't submitted yet. Busy today!)
Actually I was thinking on creating something like this (the demo below) at
work with mapbox anyway so could go hand in hand with building some
tutorial / workshop prep.
