Built a CSV → Map tool for my alumni community

Hey everyone,

I’m part of a fraternity alumni network (~600 people) and wanted a better way to see where everyone lives. A static directory felt flat, so I hacked together a tool that takes a CSV (with city/state or lat/long) and instantly maps everyone.

I started by using it for my own alumni group, but I realized it could be useful for a lot more — like community directories, customer maps, meetup groups, or even visualizing datasets.

Here’s a quick demo: https://www.shareplot.co/share/e7d5e5dd-c9cc-4133-b61c-2b5faea3efda

I’d love feedback on two things:

How would you use something like this?

What’s missing that would make it genuinely useful for your own projects?

Appreciate any thoughts 🙏
