I would absolutely love to have an OSM edit app that makes sense. But why are these anti-features part of the app?

  1. microsoft maps and their privacy policy
  2. sat imaging service that collects data for aggregation (privacy policy again)
  3. specific network service (I almost understand this. Is there no other alternative? self-host or foss host?)

I know the author wants to move to vector maps which could make it much easier for someone to selfhost something like that.

Might be worth mentioning your feedback on related issues (or creating them). The dev has been very responsive to feedback in the past.
