 I'd like to request whitelisting the Felt.com's oEmbeds. Their mapping
 platform is both robust and user-friendly, and would be a great addition
 to WordPress users interested in sharing maps online.

 Here's an example URL: https://felt.com/map/Learn-to-Use-Felt-Tutorial-

 **Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it
 before? Is it “mainstream?”**

 It's probably not mainstream yet, but it's a very well-known service in
 the GIS community.

 **If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare
 in terms of size, features, and backing?**

 As far as I know, core doesn't whitelist embeds for other mapping
 platforms. To embed maps from other providers (OpenStreetMaps, Google,
 Mapbox, etc.), a map block is required.

 **Does this service have an established social media presence?**
 Yes.

 **Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be
 supported.)
 **
 It's supported, but as far as I know, it's not documented in their dev
 documents https://feltmaps.notion.site/Getting-Started-With-The-Felt-API-

 **Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If
 not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes
 being added to the allow-list?**

 Yes, the embed is discoverable.

 **Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?**

 **How old is the service?**
 The company was founded in 2021, the platform was launched at the
 beginning of 2022.

 **Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)**
 No, but they are contributors to several big open-source projects. More
 information https://felt.com/open-source, https://felt.com/blog/felt-
 flagship-member-of-qgis, and https://blog.qgis.org/2023/03/21/felt-is-our-
 first-sustaining-member

 **Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some
 way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or
 leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable
 adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?**
 No, as far as I know.

 **Is the provider frequently proposed?**
 No, this would be the first time.
