Why does it feel like navigation apps are more interested in your data than in helping you find your way? That's why we are working to create CoMaps – a community-driven, open-source navigation app designed for you to take the lead.

· Open & Transparent: All decisions are made in public, with full transparency.

· Privacy-respecting: The app doesn’t track you or collect your data.

· Community Empowerment: You have a voice in how the app evolves.

· Free & Not-for-Profit: Our focus is on creating value for the community, not generating profit.

Join us in building a navigation app that truly serves the public good!

Minor nit, but it might be good to have a link to https://www.comaps.app/ in the community sidebar here. I wasn't sure if I remembered the URL and looked there for a link to click because I'm lazy and didn't see it. Couple of questions too if that's OK:

Is this Lemmy community going away if/when a new name is chosen?
Looks like the app isn't available for download yet, even as an APK? The download links at https://www.comaps.app/download/ are invalid.

Good catch! The website wasn't live when this community was created.

The fork does not seem to be ready yet.
