# MapComplete
|
|
|

> Let a thousand flowers bloom
|
|
|
|
|
|
MapComplete attempts to be a webversion of StreetComplete. However, we focus on 'themes', a bit similar as mapcontrib.
|
|
|
|
The design goals of MapComplete are to be:
|
|
|
|
- Easy to use
|
|
- Easy to deploy
|
|
- Easy to modify
|
|
|
|
The basic functionality is to download some map features with overpass and then ask certain questions. An answer is sent back to OpenStreetMap.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, it shows images present in the `image` tag or, if a `wikidata` or `wikimedia_commons`-tag is present, it follows those to get these images too
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
- [Buurtnatuur.be](http://buurntatuur.be), developed for the Belgian [Green party](https://www.groen.be/). They also funded the initial development!
|
|
- [Cyclofix](https://pietervdvn.github.io/MapComplete/index.html?quests=pomp), further development on [Open Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.be/) funded by [Brussels Mobility](https://mobilite-mobiliteit.brussels/en)
|
|
- [Bookcases](https://pietervdvn.github.io/MapComplete/index.html?quests=bookcases#element) cause I like to collect them.
|
|

## License
|
|
|
|
GPL + pingback.
|
|
|
|
I love it to see where the project ends up. You are free to reuse the software (under GPL) but, when you have made your own change and are using it, I would like to know about it. Drop me a line, give a pingback in the issues, ...

|
## Dev
|
|
|
|
To develop:
|
|
|
|
1. Install `npm`.
|
|
2. Run `npm install` to install the dependencies
|
|
3. Run `npm run start` to build and host a local testversion
|
|
|
|
To deploy:
|
|
|
|
0. `rm -rf dist/` to remove the local build
|
|
1. `npm run build`
|
|
2. copy the entire `dist` folder to where you host your website. Visiting `index.html` gives you the website
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### High-level overview
|
|
|
|
The website is purely static. This means that there is no database here, nor one is needed as all the data is kept in OpenStreetMap or Wikimedia (for images).
|
|
|
|
When viewing, the data is loaded from overpass. The data is then converted (in the browser) to geojson, which is rendered by Leaflet.
|
|
|
|
When a map feature is clicked, a popup shows the information, images and questions that are relevant for that object.
|
|
The answers given by the user are sent (after a few seconds) to OpenStreetMap directly - if the user is logged in. If not logged in, the user is prompted to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Searching images
|
|
|
|
Images are fetched from:
|
|
|
|
- The OSM `image`, `image:0`, `image:1`, ... tags
|
|
- The OSM `wikimedia_commons` tags
|
|
- If wikidata is present, the wikidata `P18` (image) claim and, if a commons link is present, the commons images
|
|
|
|
### Uploading images
|
|
|
|
Images are uplaoded to imgur, as their API was way easier to handle. The URL is written into the changes
|
|
|
|
The idea is that one in a while, the images are transfered to wikipedia
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Privacy
|
|
|
|
Privacy is important, we try to leak as little information as possible.
|
|
All major personal information is handled by OSM.
|
|
Geolocation is available on mobile only throught hte device's GPS location (so no geolocation is sent of to google)
