Looks good!

Any chance you might consider adding NetCDF support? Used in so many places, contains time, but currently requires a behemoth like geoserver to share as a service

Author here. Not really, since we rely on cloud-optimized GeoTiffs for performance, in particular their overviews. This makes it so we can serve tiles from huge datasets (10s of GB) in less than 100ms. I don’t think that would be possible with NetCDF.
