I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.
It’s satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.
Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.
Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.
Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.
Its a very constructive way to “be right” on the internet.
@jaxxed @vatlark hello. Long time OpenStreetMapper here! 👋🏻👋🏻
There are problems with corporate influence in OSM. Jawg is not on the radar.

We’re just looking into Jawg for tiles, they are unique (being a EU company) in tile design and service, so we just wanted to check: is jawg not on the radar ‘but should be’ or is it not because there is ‘no reason for’?
@Lokjo
There is no reason to fear Jawg. It’s a tiny company doing nothing really.
Remember, we have Facebook, Microsoft, Apple etc being pretty active in OSM.
Companies like Slack are used for many OSM comms, and that leads to issues like <https://en.osm.town/deck/@amapanda/111771768413699746>
Jawg are… not on the radar.

Thanks for the heads-up :) We thought it was a good one since the owner itself answered our email yesterday and they are a silver sponsor for maplibre, but it’s always good to double check new things.
