I just resolved a note on OpenStreetMap! I just learned they exist today and there are several notes in my city.

Another even simpler #MapEditing UX is the Android-only @streetcomplete tool, which gamifies the process of augmenting missing metadata nearby.

Again, the UX punts on changing connectivity or exposing the underlying OSM data model. Instead, they focus relentlessly on staying in the moment + asking:

"Hey, while you're right here, can you answer a single well-defined question?" 1/2

Attached: 2 images I've been spending a LOT of time on @streetcomplete@mastodon.social lately. All the exploration serendipity of Pokemon Go, and helping @openstreetmap@en.osm.town at the same time. Trying it in a new city today and there is a LOT of low hanging fruit here. (Second screenshot is straight from the GitHub readme. No point in sharing my location info with the world needlessly) #openstreetmap

For folks interested in #MapEditing UX, here's a nifty tool which leverages

- existing segments,
- relevant waypoints, +
- a routing engine

to simplify the process of creating routes as overlays on an existing network.

Note that one key UX simplification here is the decision to deliberately delegate any connectivity changes to other tools.
