Idea: an open website/app that updates POI information on every known platform simultaneously. To POI owners it would be a win because it means their info is reaching more people but there's not much extra work. The hard part is spreading the word, but I don't see why an open project's donations can't go towards marketing. The marketing material can also be used to promote the existing open platforms like OSM and some of the open review websites(mangrove.reviews and lib.reviews for example), such as sending free window stickers to POI owners that say "Review us on **!".
- maelito 6mo agoGoogle will actively fight against that. It would break their monopoly.
- zbycz 6mo agoWe don't even have this for OpenStreetMap, let alone some meta service. btw, easily showing/adding/editing businesses was one of the reasons I started https://osmapp.org https://osmapp.org in 2017, I think it works decently, but I never got to the marketing part :D
- pietervdvn 6mo agoI work on https://mapcomplete.org https://mapcomplete.org - that one pretty much integrates images (panoramax) and reviews (mangrove.reviews) and makes it easy to update data for anyone. I also go in-depth on some topics, e.g. on restaurants and toilets
