Updated Suggest-A-Brand to check for possible duplicates before submitting a pre-formed issue to the Name Suggestion Index. Notes to editors now shares this result too, preventing maintainers from having to check for duplicates manually.
Check it out! Now on Codeberg Pages, not Github!
End of an era
Loving the new bike! Went up to the local zoo and recorded my way home!
RE: @thenewsdesk@flipboard.com
I love how they have to put “not the price!” In the headline because there would be riots that would make the French blush if Costco raised that price 😂
Getting my first e-bike tomorrow from a local shop, first bike I’ve had since a kid (I used to LOVE riding)! I’m very much looking forward to getting back on the saddle!

Every single time there’s a new technology shift, you’ll get these posts. Man yells at clouds as the wheel of progress keeps turning.
The product CEO replaces the logistics/finance CEO, and I am hopeful

Some new updates to my little Suggest-A-Brand tool to help add to the Name Suggestion Index (NSI) for #OpenStreetMap
- Moved from GitHub/Pages to Codeberg/Pages: https://ga-kevin-codes.codeberg.page/Suggest-A-Brand/
- Search is now in the Wikidata field
- Adds field for Wikidata URL, location URL and count to be shared with NSI maintainers
You should give it a try it if a brand you know isn’t already on the NSI!
RE: @ianthetechie@fosstodon.org
Seriously impressive!!
@amapanda@en.osm.town yes, because you’d need to add for woman (unspecific), cisgender woman, or transgender woman to find all women so it covers generic and specific values.
Kinda like how OSM has yes/no sometimes or a more specific value if you know it.
Cartographic #OpenStreetMap wallpapers? Yes please!
Over the last couple of months I have been working on a new iOS #OpenStreetMap editor, Map2Go. The app aims to help surveying by providing quick, accurate suggestions & favorites. This has made things like address, payment, opening hours, and more much easier to do while standing at the subject.
It is now in very early beta. I welcome you to download it and test it but please ensure particular care is taken when submitting!

Some more updates to the Pedestrian Working Group Visualizer:
- Curb icons now utilized the new “Pinhead" style by @waysidemapping@mastodon.social (https://pinhead.ink/)
- Improved readability with less transparency and a dark map by default.
- Icons now disappear at low zooms, allowing for higher-level QA without the visual clutter.
