I wish OSM had the resources to make something akin to Pokemon Go but instead of capturing something, it adds it to the database.
You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/
They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.
Found this thing yesterday. I've contributed to OSM more in a day than in the previous year. It's great.
Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing
I've kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc... it's great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn't looking)
My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should ~~complain less~~ support more.
Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.
Ha, yeah it's good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.
oh yay!!
