Ask HN: Please review my online map builder Mashupforge

It's an online map builder that lets you create custom maps, place markers or shapes, use your own images as map layers. For example you can create a zoomable, draggable map of a 5000px x 12000px image, annotate it with markers and shapes.

I'm looking for feedback of any kind, about the design, the product and its potential(or lack thereof). Feel free to reach out to me at support [at] mashupforge.com.

Thanks!

Thanks! It's built using the mapping library Leaflet, JS/CoffeeScript on the front end and Python/Django/Celery for the backend, which runs on Amazon EC2/S3. Took me probably a few man-months to build and refine it, still needs lots more work though.
