Hey fiatjaf, thanks for the suggestions!

We weren't sure the best way to do this—and it's too late to edit the post. :(

Thanks for the suggestion here; we probably should tweak the color scheme a bit. If you change themes on the map, the whole color scheme actually switches, so that's why it's heavily gray-blue skewed.

> The service I like more is the static maps configured with query strings. I didn't investigate to see how you control that and make people pay for it, but it is something I sometimes wish exists. https://docs.stadiamaps.com/static/ is more details of how to control it. For payment / usage tracking, we either use API keys or domain names, depending on the use case (if it's an app, website, etc.).
