A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Keyhole Markup Language
I understood it was Google-only, great to be mistaken about it. Still, the app should also support that geojson importation format too, there shouldn't be a need for external tools, SPECIALLY since it's what Google Takeout gives you, this very much should be a feature of the app.
Now that this project exists, I'm sure it'd be relatively trivial to implement in the app
I doubt the actual "feature" is much more than a single line that tells GDAL to translate it from one format to the next, so the real thing here is the convenience of having a webpage that provides this special case as a service. Geojson is easy to read in essentially every language now, so this shouldn't have been hard to do even before this website.
