Hey everyone 👋
I built GeoPreview because I was constantly opening QGIS just to quickly check files.
It felt like overkill for something that should take 1 second.
So I made a tool that lets you press Space in Finder and instantly preview GIS data.
Would love your feedback:
- does this solve a real problem for you?
- what formats or workflows should be next?
