## Why did you build this project?
OpenStreetMap is one of the most important collective projects in history. It began almost 20 years ago, and today, 3 million edits are made each day!
Unfortunately, when you want to use the map on your website or app, you need to look for a commercial map tile provider and hope your site doesn't become too popular. Otherwise, you might end up with a $10,000 bill in a single day, as Hoodmaps [did](https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1730659933232730443).
