I found a "© Mapbox, © OpenStreetMap contributors" in the bottom left when I clicked on an example (https://felt.com/map/Community-Solar-Draft-Proposal-U8dl9A6Z...)
As an OpenStreetMap contributor I'm extremely grateful they are correctly attributing OSM (by the sounds of it).
There are plenty [1] of sites & apps (some quite large) that don't correctly attribute OSM data according to the legal requirements [2].

That makes sense.
I have heard some folks throw shade on MapBox, but it appears to be a pretty good system, from what I have seen.
I've been working on a _sort of_ competing product for about a year, Radar Chat. We just announced the API a few days ago:
https://docs.radar.chat
There's some overlap in features but certainly Radar Chat doesn't have any of the drawing functionality.

I like your API support!
The Postman collection thing is something I've been seeing, recently. Great idea.
I will probably not use it, but might be interested, if it had an API. From my [admittedly, cursory] examination, it does not appear to have an API.
I assume it uses OSM data? But maybe not, as I don't see any attributions on the maps.
Personally, I am a "cartophile." I love maps, and really enjoy using them.
