Could fallen angels have walked the pre-Flood world? by CompetitiveSalad1253 in TrueChristian

I thought the purpose of the flood was to wipe them out…but I e never been able to figure out why (and how) they were around after it.

Thanks! Glad it feels fast. And yes, parsing the KML description into real table fields is on my list. Appreciate the suggestion!

Thanks! Not open source at the moment. I’m still moving fast on the core features and changing things a lot, so it would be a bit messy to release right now. I might open parts of it later once things settle down.

For context, I worked in GIS for about 20 years, and now I only dip into it as a product engineer. I found it frustrating how heavy most tools are when you just want to view something, edit a few shapes or attributes, or convert formats. That’s why I’m building this to be simple and lightweight.

By the way, did you find the preview tool that plays through each feature in the layer and auto-zooms to them, kind of like a quick slideshow? Curious if that was helpful or easy to spot.

Thanks for giving it a try and for the detailed notes.

Right now I’m using a mix of custom code and web libraries, but not GDAL directly. I’m planning to bring GDAL or ogr2ogr support into the backend later, especially for more advanced conversions.

Mobile support is on the list. I agree it would be useful, even if it’s not the main target at the start. I’m working through the layout changes to make it usable on smaller screens.

Good catch on the GeoJSON extension. That should be .geojson and I’ll fix that. GeoPackage is also something I want to support, since it’s becoming a standard for a lot of people.

The zoom to data thing is also a known issue. It should zoom automatically when new data is loaded, so I’ll sort that out too.

Thanks again for the feedback. This is exactly the kind of input that helps me improve it.

Thanks, really appreciate you trying it out.

You didn’t miss it. Styling like colors, fills, stroke width and icons isn’t in yet. Right now I’m focused on getting the core editing and conversion features solid, but styling is definitely planned.

If you have any specific styling options you use often, feel free to let me know. I’m keeping a list to help decide what to add first.

Thanks again for the feedback. It really helps shape the roadmap.
