I've lately been quite obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in a really nice way by giving you you little quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing!

@Techaltar I forgot about this! I played around with it before, pretty cool indeed. #crowdsource
@Techaltar thing is: I never think about the app whenever I'm somewhere where it might be useful. Around my house it's all done
@Techaltar Nice, I used this years ago but forgot about it. Seems like it improved a lot, will start using it again :)
@Techaltar
I use it. Really fun.
@Techaltar Thanks for sharing! I've been meaning to figure out contributing to OSM but never had the time to sort out the apps. This is amazing
@Techaltar it makes me so happy that this exists, I was literally just complaining about the maps being out of date and realizing that I need to figure out how to contribute! so also thank you for posting this bc now I know 
@Techaltar Tried it just now, great!
@Techaltar another take on this concept is this one, targeted to runners: https://citystrides.com
@Techaltar have you heard about bikestreets.com?
@Techaltar
I like the "look closer at your environment" part.
Since I started with #osm many moons ago, I see abd realize stuff that I did not before.
It's not a superpower, but sometimes registering a trashcan or toilett can be helpfull 😉
@Techaltar I downloaded it recently and it's been a lot of fun. My favorite are asking for opening times in a second language and counting steps on flights of stairs - a skill I've finally found a use for after all these years!
@Techaltar Dam useful and often allows users to input info that is valid and correct and ensures its not gatekeeped such as what happens with #googlemaps
@Techaltar looks like the iOS version has been under development for a few years now https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/1892
@Techaltar This app is also available through F-Droid for people who are interested.
@Techaltar no iphone ios app?
@Techaltar I love the idea of the app, but I realized that most of time when I am outside home I want to avoid using phone.
@Techaltar Ohh! Gotta check it out 😊
@Techaltar , great app, also on the fediverse: @streetcomplete
Edit: I see now that it's not an official streetcomplete account!
@Techaltar It's my current day version of doing Geocaching. Maybe we have a new activity called "OSM Geocaching"?
When I travel to a place I haven't been before I like to figure out what data OSM needs, and figure it out. Fun, and helps others.
