Ability to upload zipped shapefile #96

Hi, Thank you very much for sharing such a great tool🙏🏽 I'm wondering if it is possible to revise it so that it accepts zipped shapefiles as inputs in addition to GeoJSON, JSON, GPX and KML. Thanks in advance, Mel

If we should add the support for GIS files, I would rather choose an opensource and stronger format such as Geopackage (.gpkg). But we initially choose to focus on format easy to manage server side, and thought it was easy to convert a shapefile or Geopackage file into Geojson with softwares such as QGIS.
