Stunning! I don't have a big enough data set to see how well it performs
with big systems, but it works great with my surveys.

(Note, to use it, you need to disable mouse gestures in any browser that
supports them. Eg. Vivaldi or Opera. Otherwise all the right mouse
movements can have bad side effects.)

I know that personally, I will always prefer a desktop application
(though it could easily work as a stand-alone Chromium application), but
it's great to have access to it in places where people cannot install
the full application. It's also great to see so many extra options that
are not available in the Loch desktop Lox viewer. Very cool indeed!

For example, I would love to be able to show splays instead of tubes in
Loch. And switch to Aven controls.

My wishlist for Loch would also include:
* More keyboard shortcuts like Aven, so you could switch back and
forward (animated) between Plan and Elevation like Aven's P and L - I
use this all the time to help identify specific points. And press NESW
to rotate to compass directions.
* Automatic rotation like Aven's Enter and Space.
* Rotate *only* without zooming, and zooming *only* without rotating
(Aven does these separately based on which direction you move first,
Loch does not, which is very frustrating).
* Measuring distances between stations/splays like Aven can.
