I don't know how you'd get round the dev using his own site to pre-process (already published) data or host a list of "banned versions" with bugs that could corrupt data. You can't really choose to have a different developer on the fly.
Maybe you could let people chose a different host for a published photo, but I think if there were privacy respecting ones that easily allowed that the dev probably would have use those instead?

If I view source I get "phrase not found" on a search for "Jawg" . It also doesn't show up in Firefox's Inspector, which I _think_ includes dynamically loaded stuff.
Just checked Chrome and Microsoft Edge and they don't show it either. What are you using to actually get the detail?
I wouldn't mind F-Droid's warning if they gave me the details, but for some reason they don't seems to be accessible to me.

Very slim. But their privacy policies are online if you're concerned.
You free labour all goes to the OpenStreetMap database licensed under the Open DataBase License.

It caused a lot of fake stuff to be added to OSM even though its update frequency was slow enough that very little of the fake stuff actually made it into Pokemon Go.
I think it did bring in a few good mappers too though so it wasn't all bad.
RE the update. That seems odd that they'd do that. I thought the quests were now being generated on the fly after downloading the raw data direct from OSM (previously it was an overpass query per quest IIRC).
I don't know why they'd be bouncing uploads through a remote server when OSM already has the capacity to reject a conflict.
I don't currently have access to something that monitors raw traffic to check.

In my browser that can't be expanded and clicking on it just takes you to their definition of "Non-Free Network Services" https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features/#NonFreeNet
So they're complaining that an OpenStreetMap app is tied to OpenStreetMap related services and hiding this in a way that makes it look worse than it is.
This dramatically lowers my opinion of F-Droid.
@Danitos @AngryCommieKender @openstreetmap
IIRC that was pulled out of the app into a separate companion app (StreetMeasure) ages ago.
F-Droid is complaining about "non-changeable or non-free network service".
It doesn't seem to say _which_ network service this is, which I think is quite scummy behaviour TBH.

If a question type gets tedious you can disable that "quest" in the settings.
@MonkderDritte @vatlark @openstreetmap
@MapComplete is only similar in that it is aimed at giving simple tailored forms to new users. It does not make it easy to contribute "all the low hanging fruit closest to me".
@GravitySpoiled @openstreetmap
IIRC OsmAnd does boat routing along canals etc. dunno if it can be set to kayaks specifically though.
In theory you can write your own profile for that but I don't think it's the easiest thing to do
@vatlark @Scafir @openstreetmap
The postbox thing is apparently an issue with the presets they use. The presets are from another project so it's considered "blocked".
