Street Complete Notes - Am I doing this right?

Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.
Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org.
There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
Yes, this is one way. But you can use StreetComplete's overlay feature (since release https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/releases/tag/v57.0) to directly add benches and trash cans. This helps in avoiding to flood the note system with very small map features. When the overlay feature was not implemented i also added a lot of notes for benches/bins, but got a lot attention of other mappers because of this. So i switched to using OSMTracker to take notes. But now, i am a very happy user of the new things overlay.
Adding stairs is also possible, but a bit more complicated, so adding a note is fine.
Do you know this overlay feature already? This is definitely worth to check out.
No, I thought the overlays were just sets of different types of quests I could use depending on what I wanted to work on.
Thanks for pointing this out!
