When editing #OpenStreetMap on the go, @everydoor is my hands-down favorite, but I'd hesitate recommending it for more new mappers. (cdn.masto.host)

I've been playing with #OsmGo just now, and really like how easy it is, maybe even for new contributors.

Plus, it's a progressive web app that runs in a browser, or installable in your device: https://osmgo.com , so this also seems to be a great candidate tool to introduce as a friendly editor for @openstreetmap mapping parties for new users.

The only problem I have with OSMGo is that when adding a crossing the software doesn't merge it with a nearby way (as opposed to EveryDoor). Otherwise it's a great app.

@Mannivu
And EveryDoor has an existing issue with certain features (e.g. memorial plaques) getting unwantedly snapped on nearby buildings.

I didn't know that, but I've never mapped those.
