The companion to the QGIS plugin: a static front-end that reads a gcx.json manifest and renders the referenced GeoJSON datasets on an interactive map.

It is designed to be hosted alongside the bundle itself — drop the front-end and a Geocontext repository on the same host (or on GitHub Pages) and the bundle becomes a self-contained, shareable atlas.
