Who is CoMaps?

Why does it feel like navigation apps are more interested in your data than in helping you find your way? That's why we are working to create CoMaps – a community-driven, open-source navigation app designed for you to take the lead.

· Open & Transparent: All decisions are made in public, with full transparency.

· Privacy-respecting: The app doesn’t track you or collect your data.

· Community Empowerment: You have a voice in how the app evolves.

· Free & Not-for-Profit: Our focus is on creating value for the community, not generating profit.

Join us in building a navigation app that truly serves the public good!

Minor nit, but it might be good to have a link to https://www.comaps.app/ in the community sidebar here. I wasn't sure if I remembered the URL and looked there for a link to click because I'm lazy and didn't see it. Couple of questions too if that's OK:
Is this Lemmy community going away if/when a new name is chosen?
Looks like the app isn't available for download yet, even as an APK? The download links at https://www.comaps.app/download/ are invalid.
- @mf
  The fork does not seem to be ready yet.
- Good catch! The website wasn't live when this community was created.
I don't want to clutter the matrix chat so I'll ask here:
Any plans to also open a donation page on liberapay? Might be too early to ask but thought I'd throw it in here :)
- You'll never guess why I'm here! (Someone set up a pledge on our Floss.social)
  
  Eyy! hope you can announce it soon on this community as well! :)
- Great question, we do have plans to create it! Since we have not yet incorporated as a non-profit, there are extra steps to set this up, and we're working on it right now. Thank you for your support, we appreciate you very much!
  
  Good to hear! I'm here to root for and support you guys! :)
