The bit I am concerned with about OSMCha is that it requires authentication even for simple read-only operations, and because it has the option of issuing changeset comments, it requests permission to "read your user preferences" and "modify the map". The good thing is that it still works for read-only stuff if you do *not* grant "modify the map", but still, we'd be sending everyone and their dog to a third-party platform which recommends that before they can see anything they grant the third party permission to "modify the map" in their name. I wonder if before proceeding with this, we should ask OSMCha if they can provide a modified entry URL (something with ?readonly=yes or whatever) that would not ask for the "modify the map" permission.
