Slick, good-looking interface

This is really slick! It's missing a few key features, like letting me modify some meta details of an object by clicking, or easily deleting an object. I'd also like a way to…
reustle on HNLooks nice! Sexier than geojson.io, but, as others have pointed out, you need to get it up to feature parity before a lot of us would consider using it for serious work. I'll try…
allthetime on HNThis is kick ass! I can think of some incredible use cases I could put to work today!

Useful for GeoJSON editing needs

I love this. It could have been really great to have this about 10 years ago, when I was looking for a quick way to manually partition cities' neighborhoods through GEOjson…

Poor performance with large datasets

This one is really slick, I wonder how it works with larger data sets. I'll check it out later. Geojson.io is a nice one but I second your comment, anything on the larger side it…

Circles are not valid GeoJSON geometry
From 1 comment
Why do you allow users to draw circles when they aren't actually a proper GeoJSON geometry. It's just a Point geometry with a custom (unit-less) radius property.

Would be good if wkt can also be supported as input

Flat-world coordinate system option
From 2 comments
I use GeoJSON all the time in mobile robotics. For indoor robotics, we are using our own local coordinate system. This means that we "lie a little bit" about the GeoJSON spec,…
Waterluvian on HNOh, absolutely this! I work on game heatmaps (Halo), player path analysis, etc. Having a flat-world coordinate system with a customer-supplied map is critical.

Questions
Is it built on geojson.io's source?
From 1 comment
This seems very similar to geojson.io . I'm curious, are you leveraging their source somehow?

Are Shapefile and TopoJSON paid features?
From 1 comment
In the editor, I do see Shapefile in the dropdown for downloading. It's unavailable however. (Same for WKT and TopoJSON). Are these paid features?
