Oddbean new post about login | logout We are looking for volunteers to help us in different areas. A lot of interesting and challenging work 💪 awaits on the open-source, community-built road to the best, fastest 🚀, easy-to-use 👴👵🧒, and privacy-focused maps. If we get enough money, we can significantly speed up the development by hiring a full-time team and rewarding the most active contributors. If we get more users, we get more donations. Donate and spread the word 💸! Let's call it Organic Crowdfunding 💰 https://organicmaps.app/news/2023-09-30/organic-maps-crowdfunding-and-september-update/ https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/111/156/710/446/123/483/original/a195d0db6e211b25.jpg https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/111/156/710/450/458/166/original/0bd837e83cc01995.jpg
@d7f4cce1 I will gladly switch to the Organic Maps if they have few features I use daily. 1. On the bus stops/train stations there's no drive plan displayed. 2. There's no (or I just can't find it) option to easily import my data like points, favorites, etc from the g-maps. 3. Night mode is an unusable nightmare! I can't see anything at all when this option is turned on, on my amoled. I like and mostly use dark themes, modes because of my eyes, but this particular one is totally messed up.
@d7f4cce1 I’m only familiar with Swift and SwiftUI, but I really like contributing updates to map data in my rural area. It’s where I live but also where I find map data too be the most lacking, so I’ll happily help improve things for everyone.
@d7f4cce1 We love Organic Maps, especially the feature to add/edit #OpenStreetMap right in the app :) What are your thoughts/plans towards integrating crowdsourced live traffic data in a #privacy-respecting way with user consent? #alternatives #googlemaps #waze #applemaps
