Allow creating OpenStreetMap notes

Open Robbendebiene opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Idea

Creating/Managing OSM notes from the app can have several benefits.

Use cases:

  • Questions may not be answerable because the underlying OSM data is incorrect. Creating a note in such cases might be useful.
  • Write "ToDos" to yourself or others that become apparent while being on sight
  • Answer notes from others

Bug Relation

No response

Implementation

The osm_api already provides all necessary API calls.

  • We could have an additional FAB button to create notes.
  • We could have a toggle to switch between modes showing either questions or notes on the map.
  • We could display notes similar to questions as markers.
  • Questions or markers could have an option to write a note to this element. (note would be created at the same spot and may include some reference, like a name or id)

Additional Info

Writing a note doesn't require an OSM account. So this would be a way for people to contribute without having an OSM account (even though it would be a pretty small contribution).
