This is genuinely one of the best tools to emerge in the OpenStreetMap ecosystem in recent years. If you've ever tried to onboard a non-technical person to OSM, you know the struggle. The default web editor (iD) can still be overwhelming with its sheer amount of data, and JOSM (the desktop power-user tool) is entirely out of the question for casual contributors. Thanks!

I use this app fairly regularly to locate public toilets (I walk 15-20 km daily in random directions after getting down a random bus stop in my city) and have contributed some locations as well.

I opened this up, and immediately saw a contribution I could make. Created an OSM account and fixed it =)

Well, nice try, but sadly maintaining up to date GIS data takes much more than a UI. The only thing that gets close to such datalake is perhaps OSM and ESRI World Atlas... but nothing is close to huggingface or github as positioning. Besides, data is a live thing, and all such cartography very quickly dates and gets irrelevant or incorrect.

How's this compare with street complete? It seems like the categories are different and maybe wider?

just curious how the different tools the community has made stack up

IDK, maybe I'm missing something, but I can't do something I feel like should be super basic. I went into the Arcade category, zoomed to my city, Arcade was in the wrong location. How can I report an incorrect location?

This should make George happy:

Hmmm, I love OSM, consume their data in my small cycling project and regularly contribute smaller fixes.

But I also shy away from anything more complex than fixing attributes and meta data of existing objects. Especially editing relations, ways and nodes - is this possible with MapComplete? I loaded the Cyclofix map, but I can't even select cycle paths or roads, just edit POIs.

I think we're hugging it to death.

Asing users to have to navigate all those options with terrible design and UI, then putting them on zoom out of the world, having to click a bunch to zoom in to their location (95% of what people would be adding would be where they are)...I mean I could go on, but that is where I bounced. I was happy to add the cafe I am at, and others, but once I got to this point I was like ok, no sorry. Improved UI would go a long way.

I am aggravated by this post because it reminds me of how good life could be with an internet that was not enshittified.

Really great way to edit OSM and ulike StreetComplete I can use it on the web. I tried editing through OSM and found it confusing and difficult.
