Please contribute to this great cause.

I've been using StreetComplete for over a year now, on and off (currently globally ranked #1555 & #132 in my country ๐Ÿ™‚) and it's so easy to use.

It's a great feeling to add a local shop / cafe's opening times and then see that in OSM.

Similarly my house (and close neighbours) didn't appear in the map of our local village, so I worked out how to edit in the OSM website and our houses, inc. house numbers are now there so deliveries are now more reliable.

Just a little bit by a few people and it makes the world a better place.
