How does an idea become a feature?
As a project which is completely open, not just the code, but the processes as well, how does an idea become a feature?
Anyone can submit a request (Issue) for a feature in Codeberg. And anyone can work on the feature. There are many great requests which are waiting for the right developer to create positive impact.
Since the project started in April, here is what was done:
Issues created: ~1300
App developers who contributed: 29
The power of the community pulling together to create great things.

Iodé’s core value is prioritizing open source apps, and a poll let the community decide. It’s wonderful to see the community coming together to shape the future.

CoMaps is now on IzzyOnDroid – a repository of Android Free & Open Source software!
Whereas F-Droid re-builds all apps from the source, IzzyOnDroid takes the builds directly from respective developers (and hence they're signed directly by developers). This allows very fast publishing of new releases.
There are several ways one can install and update CoMaps via IzzyOnDroid, see details on
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/app.comaps

Big thanks to the amazing projects that make CoMaps possible!
Great ideas thrive in collaboration - when the community joins forces, powerful map experience happen
OpenStreetMap – the global crowdsourced map of the world, the foundation of CoMaps
@OrganicMaps and MAPS.ME – predecessors of the CoMaps project – the code, algorithms and design foundation
Wikipedia – rich descriptions for Points-of-Interests
NASA's SRTM and Sonny's Lidar DTMs - open altitude data for contour lines and elevation profiles
JOSM, EveryDoor, StreetComplete and other Free & Open Source community tools that power map data editing and help keep it fresh and accurate
... and more open datasets and great open-source libraries used in the CoMaps project!
