You can start light, just by verifying that the data is up to date or adding some information eg. wheelchairs facilities or payment methods accepted. I use a tool called Every Door (Android) and it makes this surveying really simple and quick.
Look at the list of ways and nodes on the left panel. They edited some features on one side of the map, and without commiting the changes, started editing somewhere really far away. Then both changes ended in a single changeset which tries to border around the edited features.
I would do a node with the following tags:
amenity = cafe
amenity = bar
opening_hours:bar = Mo-Fr 19:00-02:00
opening_hours:cafe = Mo-Fr 09:00-18:00

Give OsmAnd a try. Organic Maps are also working on the integration, but its not yet there and fully refined, though it is my preferred map for navigation while driving.
This book is notable for me for making Buddhist philosophy and practices accessible to a western audience, fostering a deeper understanding of mindfulness, compassion, and the path to spiritual awakening. It has been an invaluable resource for my interests in Buddhism, meditation, and personal growth.
Thanks for spreading the good word on OpenData mapping solutions! In case you find Osmand's interface confusing, check out Organic Maps as well. FOSS and offline features are naturally part of the offering.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source (open data) project. OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping platform that allows users from around the world to contribute, edit, and use geographical data. The data and software behind OSM are open-source, which means they are freely available for anyone to view, use, modify, and distribute under open licenses.
The data contributed to OpenStreetMap islicensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). This license allows for the free use of the data as long as proper attribution is given and any derivative works are also made available under the same open license.
I got addicted to using and contributing on OSM daily and enjoy spending my time improving the map. In fact a lot of closed source maps such as Google Maps and Apple Maps pull from some of the OSM data, so everyone gets to benefit from contributions.
In case you're looking into this out of curiosity, check out the Beginner's Guide and try to verify that the data around your neighborhood is correct and maybe add a point of interest (PoI) or a street name or two. Beware, it gets addictive quite fast.
OSM is also used for humanitarian use thanks to the HOT tasking platform. For example the majority of relief effort in Turkey's February earthquake, Sri Lanka flooding, and the recent Marocco earthquake. Mapping can literally help save lives. It's fun and easy too!
Peggy needs to take the NixOS pill.
These two rules caused Usenet to be abandoned by people who were once passionate about being part of the community, and instead taken over by spammers and bots.
I'm using GrapheneOS for added security and sandboxing, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution.
