Build Custom Maps and Directories w/ CSV or Excel Files

August 20, 2025 Built a CSV → Map tool for my alumni community (looking for feedback + other use cases)

Body:
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/1c6c3e3f-7681-47d1-8249-faa01bcde226

I’d love feedback on two things:

  1. How would you use something like this?

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

Appreciate any thoughts 🙏

I built Shareplot to bring my alumni community to life on a map. A static directory felt flat, but plotting everyone made connections clear. The goal is to make it easy to turn a simple CSV into an interactive map.
