Show HN: Explore zips and other archives from a safe distance before download
I just added the functionality to explore zip files to this remote document viewer. It&#x27;s pretty cool to be able to do that, as with coverage of PDF, DOC&#x2F;x, PPT&#x2F;x, XLS&#x2F;x, and many other formats, it takes care of many of the &#x27;non-raw-browser-displayable&#x27; content that you might come across on the web, and want to inspect before downloading. (of course there are plugins for many of these, but that still requires download of the content to your local)<p>In order to make this work for you, you need to set it running on a remote server. That way you can get it to download and view these kind of files before you actually bring them to your computer.
