I'm curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don't know about everywhere

For me it's StreetComplete. It's like PokΓ©mon Go, but you're doing actual map quests that help verify or correct information in Open Street Maps.

And if you do enough per month, you get free map downloads without a subscription if you use OSM the app.

I think it's only on Android though.

This is the most addictive thing I've done in a while. It's rare to find something where just two clicks can help in a bigger project, and at least where I live there are thousands on tiny dots to check

Glad you're enjoying it. Have fun unlocking badges!

I wish they'd get people to verify transit schedules literally the only reason Google maps finds itself on my phone

[–] curry@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Hah, bold of you to assume my local public transport actually has a schedule.

The Transit app has been quite helpful for me to replace Google Maps!

There's also a more powerful version of it called SCEE

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 4 points 1 month ago

Though that's more for advanced users. If people don't already know about street complete, they should use the regular version.

[–] Kyoyeou@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

Wooow! Now that's a fun and useful game like I've been searching for a while! Downloaded count me in!!!
