Mapbox too expensive #33

Closed mariusandra closed 5 years ago

mariusandra commented 6 years ago

Today this component exploded on HN. While I slightly anticipated the popularity and changed the base map from Mapbox Streets to Wikimedia, the Mapbox tiles have still gotten way more views than I could have expected:

Thus I have to disable the Mapbox tiles for now. If you still want to see what they look like, clone the project, edit the boolean in demo.js and run npm start.

Thanks for understanding!

PS. If you know anyone in Mapbox, ask them to offer free credit so I could keep their tiles online. PS2. Wikimedia, sorry if this is bringing you too much traffic and thank you for everything! Please contact me if there is an issue. The HN surge should die off eventually though.

Well, obviously mapbox will not support this project. Closing the issue.
