right now just external raster tiles, but vector tiles is on the roadmap!

haha i grew up with one of those big national geographic maps on my wall and it has a special place in my heart

my favorite bit of today's launch is the gallery, where you can stare away! https://felt.com/gallery

hey we're imagining it similar to figma or notion - lots of individual and free use cases, and when pros adopt it there's a paid tier

there's a bit on this at the bottom of the post: it's free for the rest of the year, and starting in 2024 the teams-based features will be paid. similar to figma or notion

founder here and YC W15 w/ my last company. happy to answer questions!

it doesn't need to be so damn hard! we're big believers that basic mapping needs can be much much easier with great software.

today you can import KML, KMZ, GPX, JSON & GeoJSON, and export in GeoJSON. we're expanding this to more formats in the near future.

felt is best for folks who don't have deeper GIS backgrounds or programming backgrounds. it's easy to jump in and focus on your project without them!

API will be coming down the road!

- elixir for real-time updates

- react.js and protomaps.js for front-end app

- python for a variety of geospatial service

glad to hear it!

searching for lat/lng, route duration, and better search are in the works

what's the deal with plus codes? i've heard about them a couple times but don't have a good sense of where/how they are used

the last $3m went to the @felt twitter handle

if you scroll down, there's a bunch of example maps you can check out!

an account is only needed to create new maps

only $12m of it!

hi everyone, ceo here! and former YC W15 founder.

let me know your questions, and i will answer them!

Felt | Frontend Engineers, Elixir Engineers | REMOTE | Full-Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Felt is the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping app, designed particularly to help with climate-related disasters like wildfires and hurricanes. Think "Figma for Maps".

We're founded by me – the former founder of Remix, which we sold for $100M [1] – and my co-founder Can who you've probably heard of [2].

We're particularly looking for great front-end folks who want to build a multiplayer experience on the web. Our FE stack is built using React, Jotai, Stitches, and a lot of other designed-to-be-fun technologies [3]. Ask us for a demo, it's hard not to love it!
