Some are asking: why does privacy-focused Organic Maps use GitHub? The largest open-source contributor network, familiar PR & issue workflow, Actions CI, broad integrations, zero infra to maintain, and easy onboarding/discoverability. This lets us focus on improving the app instead of running and maintaining servers. Development time is the most precious resource nowadays, and most of our users don't care where the code is hosted, but care about the app functionality and usability… Do you care?

    I’m not a user. But in my opinion, it is more important to be seen as a small project than blindly following foss. Maintaining two repos is a lot of work.

    I also use as much foss as possible, no facebook, etc. but if the added benefit is large enough, one should do it. I’d much rather have an osm app with a billion users on github than a thousand on codeberg.
