I didn't understand what could be the difference between comaps.app & organic maps, does anyone understood ? Also I didn't find any git link but maybe I'm dumb x)

Nothing yet, it just started. But the difference will be that it will be run by a nonprofit rather than a for profit.

Hopefully it'll have search that isn't completely unusably bad, like letting you navigate to an address while knowing if you've actually got the right one, instead of blindly guessing one of a dozen streets with the same name.

Also searching for postal codes does not work on Organic Maps, which is a big frustration for me.

Community run vs private ownership

You have to click on the how to contribute thing and then the bug submission subtitle and then it will bring you to a readme in codeberg where you can go back to the root where you will find the actual project. Idk why they made it so complicated... Link
