One of my highlights of yesterday's Mapping USA online conference was osm.kids, a map using #OpenStreetMap that's made for #children! If you're zoomed in, it highlights things like playgrounds, fire stations, schools and ice cream shops.
When you zoom out, you see city and country names and flags so you can learn all about those!
It is so creative and I love it. osm.kids demonstrates so well that you can make maps with OSM that you cannot make with any other map tools out there.
It fulfils already quite a lot, that's true. A bit of redesign would be required in my opinion.
Right now the focus is to add information. For the normal user a different view would be nice.
Also showing the mapped playground devices would be awesome. I usually also take a picture of all the devices and link the Panoramax id with it.
If my ideas on this are appreciated, I would love to write it into an issue to share my ideas a bit more detailed.
@mfuhrmann individual playground devices are already shown when zoomed in.

@mfuhrmann Feel free on creating an issue. Don't expect sweeping changes though, but often, there are technically small improvements that make a big difference in user experience.
Oh, and I (@pietervdvn) am very busy currently, so it'll take some time too
I am not expecting anything. I am not a paying customer 😉🤗
