There's something a bit weird about OSM.
We have the infrastructure and the idea to have a wikipedia-like map. It's insanely cool.
But it's super hard to make any edit except through StreetComplete and people get asked the type of bushes they see in their street. I think the biggest priority would be to map all stores, their type and their opening hours. Right now there's nothing more reliable than Google Maps for this which forces people to use the Google Places API if they want a reliable product.
I think we should have an app somewhere that is more user-friendly and focused on what most people need from a business perspective.
- dddw 20d agoEvery door is more focused towards opening hours. Streetcomplete is indeed alot of 'what type of road is this?'
- krzyk 20d agoStreetComplete also asks about opening hours, but you need to have a POI added first (AFAIR StreetComplete allows adding POIs also)
- matkoniecz 20d ago> AFAIR StreetComplete allows adding POIs also yes. Click on left circle in top-right, select orange icon ("Places" layer)
- RobotToaster 20d agoYou can change the type of "mission" you get on street complete, but it definitely needs more sensible defaults.
