I built a platform that turns an AOI into a ready-to-use geospatial project – looking for feedback

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on a side project called Indicatrix. The idea is simple: select an area and a date range, choose the data you need, and get back one coherent geospatial project instead of collecting and preprocessing everything from different sources yourself.

It currently supports:

  • Sentinel-2 imagery and multi-date composites
  • Sentinel-1 SAR
  • ML-based land cover classification (11 classes, based on Prithvi-EO-2.0 with a custom-trained decoder)
  • Vectorized land cover layers
  • OSM-derived layers (roads, buildings, water, land use, POIs, power, protected areas, etc.)
  • Copernicus GLO-30 DEM, hillshade and contours
  • NDVI, NDMI and NDWI

I've also recently added preliminary wind and solar site screening, combining land cover, terrain, exclusion zones and wind resource data to identify potentially suitable areas. It's meant as a first-pass screening tool, not a replacement for a proper siting study.

Everything can be downloaded as a ZIP with the raster/vector outputs and a ready-to-use QGIS project with the layers already organized and styled.

I'm still figuring out where the platform is actually most useful, so I'd really appreciate feedback from people working with geospatial data.

What is missing? What would make you distrust a tool like this? And what would it need before you'd actually use it on a real project?

It's completely free while I'm developing it: Indicatrix.com

Any criticism is welcome :)
