Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?

Local Atlas?

Keep CoMaps.

I like this name: it's cute, short and memorable. I also like that 'co-' can have multiple meanings (cooperation, coexisting, community, carbon monoxyde).

A quick search for comaps shows a couple different projects already using that name. comaps.de is some kind of map visualization. Using the comaps name could lead to some confusion.

Lief Maps

  • after explorer Lief Erickson

Alternate spelling of Leaf Maps as well (since most people will mis-hear and type the English word rather than the name) and maybe a leafy Lief is the mascot ;)

Wait I think I like this better

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It's neat, but would cause confusion with https://leafmap.org/

A play on organic meaning carbon-based (as in organic chemistry). Also I feel like it should be easy(ish) for speakers of other languages to pronounce. I may be wrong though!

I liked your suggestion quite a lot and came up with alternative based on it (the two words staying the same):

CartoUnity

Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

It's not bad, but

  1. There might be too many projects named "Delta ___". (...I'm guessing. I can really only think of Delta Chat.)
  2. Is being a fork the only identity of this project? I would rather the name reflect other characteristics... 🤔

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.

I'll duplicate it here

Pastk said: cOSMaps (co-OSM-maps) COSMOS Maps (Co-OSM-OpenSource)

And some ideas with the help of AI: COLABMAP (Collaborative Open Libre Access Based Mapping Application Platform) **COMMAP **Community Oriented Modern Mapping Access Project

to be honest, no word makes me completely satisfied.

@CubeOfCheese

"There is freedom within, there is freedom without"
"Don’t dream it’s over"

Seems appropriate for an Organic Maps fork 😄

Based on @[email protected] 's great suggestion, I thought of the slogan "Grass-fed, free-range, organic, and community-powered maps". And of course a cow for a mascot.
