Todays topic in the #31DayOSMChallenge is a #MapRoulette task. Did you know that https://mapcomplete.org/benches has the @OpenBenches data loaded (via MapRoulette)? You can thus import a #bench (and close) a MapRoulette challenge this way

Today's topic in the #31DayOSMChallenge is 'Points of interest'. Let that be what #mapcomplete is all about!
We have plenty of thematic #maps, each focussing on a single topic, such as #shops mapcomplete.org/shops, #restaurants and #fastfood https://mapcomplete.org/food, #toilets https://mapcomplete.org/toilets, #bookcases https://mapcomplete.org/bookcases (such as #FreeLittleLibrary ), #playgrounds (https://mapcomplete.org/playgrounds), #schools (https://mapcomplete.org/education.html?) and many many more on https://mapcomplete.org
Today is #Opening_hours - day in the #31DayOSMChallenge
MapComplete has excellent support for opening hours: you can drag and drop and even add holiday periods through our UI
Many thematic maps support it, such as https://mapcomplete.org/shops, https://mapcomplete.org/food and https://mapcomplete.org/cafes_and_pubs
And while your at it, you can leave a #review as well :)
For everyone who wants to do a late #31DayOSMChallenge : #MapComplete has a dedicated map with #trees : https://mapcomplete.org/trees
RE: @mapcomplete_edits@en.osm.town
@mangroveReviews@mas.to now has over 10 thousand reviews!
We've finally managed to get the builds of the Android version onto Codeberg.
#Obtainium users: please use the following repo to update MapComplete: https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect?r=obtainium://add/https://codeberg.org/pietervdvn/android-wrapper/releases
Message for everyone using #obtainium to update #MapComplete:
Our source code repository requires sign-in since a few day as we've been hammered by the clankers. This breaks updates via obtainium, as this suddenly requires a token.
@pietervdvn@en.osm.town did now setup a mirror on #codeberg of the android app over here: https://codeberg.org/pietervdvn/android-wrapper
Use https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/redirect?r=obtainium://add/https://codeberg.org/pietervdvn/android-wrapper/releases to update your app with obtainium from now on. This link can also be found on app.mapcomplete.org

@mfuhrmann@hessen.social Something that I'd ve totally up foe, is changing the generic icon by specific playground device icons. But someone will have to put in time to gather/draw them and to document the metadata of them (author, license, source). So, if you're bored

@Tutanota If you'll ever write an article on how to update #OpenStreetMap , we'd love a mention

@mfuhrmann@hessen.social Feel free on creating an issue. Don't expect sweeping changes though, but often, there are technically small improvements that make a big difference in user experience.
Oh, and I (@pietervdvn@en.osm.town) am very busy currently, so it'll take some time too
