Very interesting! Does this support GeoTIFF images?
I ask because I've got ~200 acres of forest I use a drone to survey. I generate a high resolution orthophoto, and I currently built my own site on top of leaflet using tiles cut from the large orthophoto.
I'm working with conservation organizations to try and restore some stream habitat, and being able to markup maps together would be incredible, but it looks like you are focusing on vector layers first?
Is it possible to provide my own tile server url? (e.g. I'll host the tiles on S3/Cloudfront/whatever, I just want to fancy notation/collaboration infrastructure.)
Edit:
Follow up -- I'm just one person who happens to work with various conservation groups to maintain the health of my forest. Typically, these groups are already strapped for cash, but it looks like this wouldn't really fall under 'personal' use because it's multiple people collaborating on a map? Very curious about whether you plans include a price tier for "I guess I want something like this but I'm also just like, one dude and not a business"
Edit 2:
Looks like yes, I can bring my own baselayer. (In my case, I have two base layers, one topgraphic, and an additional one that's the raster image, but it looks like I could create a similar experience on Felt?) So really, then the question becomes one of pricing for small uses like mine.
Played around with it, looks like my particular use case is not supported (and also there appears to be a bug where the minimum tile zoom is not being respected for base layers?)
I want a base layer of one map, with an additional base layer (or raster data layer) on top of that base layer. It appears I can have one raster base layer, and any number of vector data layers on top.
Also, my tiles use -y, which I think is something I ought to fix (I just noticed this because I exported with the default output from ddb tile, which requires telling leaflet to use TMS or -y), so I can't just drop them in Felt.
Looks beautiful! Trying to think up ways that real estate agents or brokers could use this, but all of the examples seem to be on a much larger scale like regions or states, as opposed to neighborhoods or small cities. Do you have any users doing fascinating things for real estate customers/agents/brokers?
I've tried to get a set of vector tiles (`.pbf.json` generated with tippecanoe) working as a background, but the docs don't specify if vector tiles are accepted, and all the examples are raster tiles.
Can you use vector tiles as a custom background? If so, how, and are there limits on format support?
[from linked page] "Since the beginning, our plan has been to offer a free tier of Felt for personal use alongside paid tiers for professional teams. Starting in 2024, Teams and related features will be available only to paying customers."
On the one hand they've nixed their PLG entry, on the other hand I'm not entirely clear what the use case and market size is for personal use here is anyway let alone multi-user personal use. Maybe Can or Sam can elaborate...
hi ben! nice to hear from you again after many years. as sam mentioned, we hope to "secretly" follow the same playbook as many PLG products. check out felt.com/gallery for some examples of how people and companies use felt.
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

Off topic, but I like how the site uses a green background, stands out in the sea of gray and black that most sites use
