I also like OpenClonk, but to be honest I just like/use StreetComplete much more. 😀 And it is really a great thing, what you've built there.\r\nSo being a contributor, issue spotter (😉), or, at the very least, StreetComplete user for some time already, I also know some frustrating times, where I just thought \"But why does @westnordost do so??\".\r\nBut it began very nicely when I discovered that project in [March 2017](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/53) judging from my first issue. And what was is? A crash report. Well… yeah. Even on Cyanogenmod (seems too far ago…). Fortunately the app's \"souls\" (my award typos🙄) were fast to fix and I continued to report all sort of issues.\r\nAnd, I have to admit, I sometimes proposed [very silly](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/525) quests, altghough [one was even accepted](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/484) (😜). You made it crystal clear that this wastes your time (you expressed it in a friendler way though) and you were completly right with that. So the community needed to find a solution. We could [ignore quests](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/525#issuecomment-325120503) or, better, [propose them in a better way](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/550) with a clear wiki guide and an issue template. IMHO the quality of quest suggestions really raised afterwards (even as more contributors came in) and it also helped me to rethink some of my own quests again.\r\n\r\nSince the beginning I've opened more than 100 issues or PRs, invested really too much time (😉) into collecting data for an [orchard quest](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/368) – which I still have not seen in practise being asked (or maybe I am just always at the wrong position) and [created a wiki page of all quests](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete/Quests).\r\nBut you did the whole development work there, making StreetComplete a really intuitive app, combined with a coding style, which really cannot be done any better. And that's not just something I say, but something I've seen. Especially the good UX is impressing. I saw and now also always understand that you often needed to reject features, which sound great fat the first glance, but just were not good for the project. At this is great! It's great you keep the original goal in mind, keep the quality high and always think of the (worldwide!) user.\r\nAnother thing for any FLOSS project is the community. And I think this also accelerated quickly. Now you always have one or two pull requests open, you've got big features [implemented out of nowhere](https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/pull/655) and many helper websites (yeah, looking at you @ENT8R). So I think you saw that being a maintainer of a more or less big FLOSS project, also always means caring and \"maintaining\" your community. And well… it seems to have worked quite well. 😊 \r\nYou could (thanks to your community again) even handle the one big issue in 2018 so far, the Mapzen shutdown, so I think that shows a big success.\r\n\r\nSo this is the first year I can say thanks to you at the #IloveFS day and it was not really not hard this year for me to decide that your project is going to be my year's number one at #ILoveFS's day.\r\nYour project is a really nice one, and it is far more than a simple Android app. It's a project contributing back to OpenStreetMap (not only with data, but also with tagging changes and so on), it's a vibrant community for such a new project of that size, it's likely also a great way to learn Java/Android coding, but ultimately it's a big change in contributing to OSM for maybe thousands(?) of users or so. It really changed how I contribute to OSM, and made it a really a easy thing I do not want to miss. I think others see it in a similar way.\r\nSo keep up the good work and enjoy it!\r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\nrugk\r\n\r\n----\r\n\r\n(also posted on [thankyouopensource.com](https://www.thankyouopensource.com/letter/271/StreetComplete-is-so-much-more-than-a-simply-Android-app-for-contributing-to-OSM/))"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/comments/366218148","html_url":"https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/866#issuecomment-366218148","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/westnordost/StreetComplete/issues/866","id":366218148,"user":{"login":"rugk","id":11966684,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/11966684?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk","html_url":"https://github.com/rugk","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/rugk/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-16T12:02:19Z","updated_at":"2018-02-16T12:02:19Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"Ah, great.
