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. | tmcw wrote: | 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. | NelsonMinar wrote: | I'm super excited about this product and happy for Tom that he | launched it.
