       | We use http://geojson.io/ regularly do convert data formats,
       | inspect *.geojson files or other map related work. All inside the
       | browser. It's open source, still maintained but IMHO reached a
       | stage where it had to become a commerical, optionated, supported
       | product. Or rather a different product like Placemark to fill the
       | niche. Too many users had different use cases for geojson.io,
       | sharing files with others is cumbersome and some features on the
       | wishlist are super complex to build.

       | During testing I was able to load a 40.000 points data file
       | (large cities and some attributes like name, elevation) into
       | Placemark and browse around, search, filter, add new points fine.
       | It's a powerful tool. The monthly pricing likely only attract
       | users in the geospatial industry and companies so hopefully the
       | marketed is big enough to generate enough revenue. I'm looking
       | forward to some kind of CLI tool or API to auto-upload/download
       | files to fit our workflow at some point.

         | Thanks! Just in case it isn't clear, geojson.io is from the
         | same folks (okay, folk, me) as Placemark. My hope with
         | Placemark is to keep maintaining it and improving it, while
         | unfortunately geojson.io has been untouched for a few years.
