What did you use for the map ? Mapbox ??

CartoDB and Leaflet. Source is available here btw: https://github.com/montanaflynn/ishormuzopenyet

As an OpenStreetMap-contributor: you have to add attribution as per our license agreement: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

CartoDB packages this data into tiles you can use, but that doesn't lift this requirement.

I was implementing OSM the other day (with attribution of course) and noticed Carto seemed to be one of the only players with good dark tiles.

Seems like we can't use them for free, even with attribution, unless I get a grant?

Thank you for this comment, I just fixed it[1], don't know why claude code decided to hide it, I actually should have known this requirement and checked!

I shorm uzo pen yet also!

Looks like it's using leaflet + map tiles from https://carto.com/

I think Mapbox also provides a similar looking basemap style.
