The mapping app that hides OpenStreetMap's schema until the moment you need it (streetcomplete.app)
StreetComplete finds gaps in OpenStreetMap near you and turns each into a one-tap quest: is this street paved? what are this shop's opening hours? You answer on-site, and it writes straight to OSM in your name, with no editor and no tags to read first.
Its real trick, one contributor argued: hide OSM's intimidating tagging model until you actually need it, since most tools expose the schema too early. The flip side is that the complexity is hidden, not gone. Another mapper admitted he's never sure he tagged a crosswalk the 'right,' undocumented way.
