well, I use osmodroid. I am sure you can find many here. I do want to contribute more after I have other things sorted. Wish you didn't have to worry about being poor.

I agree with you that HN is a bubble which is what I meant by my comment. We need to do something to take it mainstream than patting ourselves here over and over again. Talk about how ways we can do that. I don't like google articles because we waste time giving them feedback rather than to all the cool open source projects that deserve it.



>Wish you didn't have to worry about being poor.

What? Are you suggesting I don't use iOS and macOS because I can't afford Apple's hardware?

I have multiple Macs and iPhones in the house - I recently switched because I don't like Apple's direction. Not because I can't afford their products.


No. you are wildly misunderstanding me. I mean I can't devote more time to contributing to open street maps or other open source projects because of the worry.


Oh I see, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things will improve for you soon.

It's understandable you would be focused on more important things. Lately I have been wondering if more people would get into open source if they didn't have bigger things to worry about like poverty and climate change.

I suppose I am privileged enough to do OSM contributions in my spare time. I'm not sure how to feel about that...

You should feel proud and good imo. At least, I am proud of you that you choose to spend time contributing to something valuable.
