Show HN: Snap Scope – Visualize Lens Focal Length Distribution from EXIF Data

Hey HN, I built this tool because I wanted to understand which focal lengths I actually use when taking photos. It's a web app that analyzes EXIF data to visualize focal length distribution patterns.

While it's admittedly niche (focused specifically on photography), I think it could be useful for photographers trying to understand their lens usage patterns or making decisions about lens purchases.

Features: Client-side EXIF data processing (no server uploads/tracking) / Handles thousands of photos at once / Clean visualization with shareable summaries

This tool supports most RAW formats, but you might occasionally encounter files where EXIF extraction fails. In such cases, converting to more common formats like JPEG usually resolves the issue.
