Just want to point out that this user is the creator of the wonderful tool MapComplete (https://mapcomplete.osm.be) which helps you adding more information to the data available in the OSM database. If you have some free time and have local knowledge of your area, I really suggest giving this tool a try, you can choose between multiple themes (which will show different quests) and add info that you know the most. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

I'm thinking about making a mapcomplete theme specifically for all types of vending machines, but I'm lacking the time for it. Source: about 1 year ago

They aim for a simple (aka reduced) editor to use - if they work out some of the technical issues - they kind of deliver that promise. But of course, I like MapComplete more as "simple editor". (Disclaimer: that's what I made). Source: over 1 year ago

The reason that I haven't pursued a gamification approach with https://mapcomplete.osm.be is twofold: - I'm focusing on other usability issues (and features) first. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

How does this compare to Felt [1]? It would be nice to have some plans with listed prices in between "Free" and "Enterprise" ("book a demo"). For comparison, Felt has $30/mo and $90/mo plans.

Felt | Engineering Manager, App and Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

For anyone else who follows along in this domain, there's an interesting competitor in the space I stumbled across recently: https://felt.com/ Pretty nice looking product and robust feature set. Love to see GIS tooling becoming more accessible. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

There are pockets of truly open geodata though, like OpenStreetMap (even though it only services a very specific kind of geodata). People also put a lot of spatial data on Zenodo. There are even platforms out there built for almost exactly what you describe, like Koordinates and Felt, as well as means of managing your data in a way similar to managing source files, like Kart.

I don't know if there's a readymade tool for this, but maybe you could plot it as a collaborative map so that it's clear which drivers/passengers are close to each other? Something like https://felt.com/ might help Or there's this that I've used before, but I think it's really just a signup list and not something that automatically tries to geo-optimize your routes or anything:... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
