I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

Why does F-Droid tell me that the app has features that I may not like?

Non-Free Network Services

This Anti-Feature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a Non-Free network service, or any service which is impossible, or not easy to replace. Replacement requires changes to the app or service. This antifeature would not apply, if there is a simple configuration option that allows pointing the app to a running instance of an alternative, publicly available, self-hostable, free software server solution.

Because you can't change it from using OpenStreetMap.org to an alternative self hosted site.

This is a cool idea! I contribute little by little when I can but this app looks like it makes it more convenient to do so.

I do it but in Paris there are way too many things to add, so it feels too much most of the time
