Looks like it might have been case sensitive.

I did try using a - in front of the user name, but their notes still showed up. :/

I wish Notes Review let you filter out a user. One person makes a lot of notes in my area, and many of them are ones that are low-priority to add. It would be nice to be able to see everything else. I know I can do this on StreetComplete, but it would be helpful to be able to do it on desktop as well.

 

Unfortunately the OSM website has a limit to how many it can show you at once and it shows the most recently updated ones, so you can't see how many unclosed notes still exist.

One of them is over five years old and requires on-site verification, so I know what I'm doing this weekend!

Yeah, GIMP was my backup plan. It would just be hard to read the street names.

The closest thing I've found so far is https://geojson.io

 

Basically, I'm making a lot of progress drawing in buildings and upgrading sidewalks to modern standards in my city, but sometimes I lose track of what I have and haven't done yet. As simple as highlighting the areas I've finished in a colour, is there a way I could track this? I'm willing to use any kind of tool for the job.

That's the intent of OpenSidewalks, but last I checked it was only available for three cities.

I think about the surface qualities like this, descending from best to worst:

"would I ride rollerblades on this?"

"would I ride a road bike on this?"

"would I drive a compact car on this at normal road speed?"

It's very simple in comparison, but for some that's a feature. If it could show bike lanes on roads then it would be all I need in 95% of cases, but since it can't I find myself using OSMAnd with the CyclOSM tile layer a lot.

I said something similar last time this was posted.

There's a whole section on the Canadian page in the OSM wiki for how to map Tim Horton's depending on if they're inside of other places or not, haha.

I'm dealing with some weird ones, like laundromat cafés and stationery shop cafés. But at least it looks like I can add an amenity tag to most of these. It's just the bar/café that I'm really struggling with.

 

Say, a book store with a café. Or a place that is a café by day and a wine bar by night.

Ah, but I'm doing edits all over the map. Selecting 50 crossings is tough when I don't remember which ones I've done this session. They should really just fix this bug.

 

It's very annoying. :(

 
 

There are some really common items around my city that I find myself adding a lot, and it's a pain to either place them and add the tags from scratch or to pan around the map until I find one to copy. It would be cool if I could save templates of these items to place! Things like the silver bike racks the city installs, or the round planters they place to block off alleys with. Things that are the same every time.

Just rambling, haha.

 

When I get bored of adding in buildings (much of my city doesn't have buildings yet.) then I like to do a little "micro-mapping" of local parks. I got the idea from Reddit and immediately fell in love. It makes me so happy to see them on the map when I'm navigating later!
