What are some libraries, software, etc... that you'd like to see be built in open-source? (beehaw.org)

I’m trying to get accustomed to writing asynchronous/concurrent Rust or any language!

I just want to build software that helps people, and hopefully makes friends along the way.

Google Maps replacement with local bus, transit, bike path navigation integration would be pretty sweet to see as a FOSS Rust app

@recursive_recursion there's Organic Maps that does this but there are no options for my city.

Organic Maps currently only supports metro/subway navigation, not buses, trains or other types of PT (although they are planning on introducing a new map layer for that). Bike routing works, although only fully separated bike paths are rendered.

@JohnDumpling oh, I see. I thought only my city was not supported. OsmAnd does have on the ground transit routes though. And there's also Transportr and Offi, but they do not support all the cities (and clearly not bike paths).

The biggest problem I have with Organic Maps is that it doesn't have the bus routes for the city I live. Otherwise, yeah, I support it.
