Hey this looks cool. I see it's a beta, but some ideas that would be really useful to me and maybe others. MapBox (particularly the desktop version) can create custom stylesheets and do high quality image exports. I like those features if I don't plan to leave the map on the web (e.g. print, email). It would be good also to view the square area covered inside a polygon and be able to edit one once it's placed.

Hi! Would a PDF export be good for your print / email case? About square area, do you mean to calculate the area in square kilometres and display it for polygons? You should be able to edit a polygon once it's placed, just click the "move" icon in the top right corner of the sidebar.
1) Yeah, definitely. I suppose one could screenshot, but having a little more fine-tuning as far as dimensions, image size, etc is far more useful. 2) For sure, much like the border distance. 3) Ah, I didn't see the edit icon. Very cool.
