I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

I tried it when someone posted about it a couple of weeks ago. It is fun, my son and I go for walks and I include him in the tasks. Unfortunately, we get a lot of road surface questions which are a bit boring.

    If a question type gets tedious you can disable that "quest" in the settings.

    That improved my experience. I disabled the things that my city generally doesn't have, and it made my questing much more enjoyable.

    If I disable the 3 types of quest I get in my area (road surface, lanes, power pole type) then I get basically no quests, period

    I've taken to adding buildings that I'm surprised they didn't already have on OSM and then filling in the quests that auto-populate with that, but its meh

    The road surfaces actually help a ton for apps that come up with bicycle routes as well as those on wheelchairs. However of you'd prefer less of them, you can make jt a lower priority in the settings.
