  • The community believed their voice weren’t being heard by the shareholders, and the lack of a good response by Organic Maps led to a fork of the project being formed. CoMaps was meant to have more transparent governance and take more into account community feedback, and both the name and logo was voted by community members! I also know that iodeOS, a French based private degoogled Android ROM, ships with CoMaps as its default mapping app!

    Additionally, CoMaps has already had a few neat extra features over Organic Maps added, like a nicer UI, which is pretty cool. And I think the (community voted) logo design looks nicer than that of Organic Maps, but that’s just my opinion.

    I much prefer using OpenStreetMap apps like CoMaps since you can download offline versions of the map!


  • The main reason I like Jottacloud is because it has a good Linux client. I used to use pCloud (which also has EU based hosting) but it didn’t have a Linux client at the time. They do now, which is pretty neat!

    My threat model is not super high (for cloud storage at least) since I just store my silly code projects and a few other bits in the cloud. It’s good to have options though, and for sure, E2E services will always be more secure and private. More options, the better!
