Generic / ArcGIS-compatible viewer for stars vector data cubes (i.e. for non-R users) #65

I've been using stars vector data cubes similar to the structure shown below where there are N number of attributes distributed across 3 dimensions (time, depth, and a polygon geometry). This has worked fantastic within R-ecosystem (thanks @edzer & r-spatial!).

However, is there a generally available tool/software/method for sharing & visualizing these stars vector cubes to non-R users? For example, I can save the star using write_mdim() to netcdf format, but can something read/view these spatial layers 'easily'? ArcGIS compatibility would be great just due to it's ubiquity, but from what I see it really wants raster-like netcdf objects, and converting these data to a structure that is tabular would be hugely wasteful and poor performance. Alternatively, something like Panoply would be ok, but it doesn't seem to support vector (polygon) geometry?

Another alternative would be some kind of R-shiny app that just leverages leaflet/mapview but with just a set of controls to select the attribute and dimensions of interest to plot.

Apologies for the somewhat unfocused questions but was hoping someone might have some good ideas.

Thanks!
