Inferred product pattern

Simple context-menu wrapper for an existing public cloud-based rendering service.

Review-backed pain points

Users report that the extension often fails to render files, returning 'No preview available' messages, and lacks support for internal or local network URLs.

Observed feature gaps

Users desire automatic document detection rather than requiring a right-click selection, and improved stability for complex documents.
