Haven't heard of this before - at first I assumed it was StreetComplete before realising it was something different entirely.
Seems pretty neat from a quick look at the site, similar to StreetComplete at first glance - but allows you to focus on themes (cycling, playgrounds etc) rather than being asked what material the road is, or whether the street lighting is on all night ๐
What inspired you to develop it?
The inspiration largely came from StreetComplete and MapContrib. StreetComplete has a really nice, slick UI. MapContrib allows to setup a thematic map easily, which focuses on one thing.
I had been toying with the idea of being able to quickly setup thematic maps before, but a nice project (with some funding) came along, being able to start the project.
