Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
Street-Complete, like Pokemon Go but for good.
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.

This is the most fun app in the world. I hope they keep building on top of this, it's amazing! Plus, being able to see new "quests" popup as you edit on OSM/edit? Amazing!!
If there was some way for the app to create teams trying to fill out details like in Pokemon Go, that would be crazy exciting. Would be difficult to balance that so it didn't incentivize adding junk... Maybe having a third party keeping players in check? Not sure, but the possibility is tantalizing!
@inbeesee @openstreetmap It does have a team mode, but I think that's just a transient thing.
@InsertUser @inbeesee the team mode just makes sure 2 people don't gets asked the same thing. Otherwise it's wasted work
Would be cool to expand it! Is it open sourced work?
@inbeesee I'm pretty sure all of Street complete is open source. The team mode is a very clever hack, where each person gets a different number and it's just showing people different quests
Interesting.... If you tracked groups by "different quest number" you could potentially group them that way... Even more hacky lol
