Hi everybody,
I'm starting a new community-driven fork of
MAPS.ME:
https://github.com/omapsapp/omapsappYou all know what happened to the
MAPS.ME project. iOS users took the first hit when they found a glitchy makeshift thingamajig with in-app purchases instead of the application they had known and loved. The same thing will most likely happen to Android users, and it’s really looming, so guys, here’s a fair warning: you might want to disable automatic updates of
MAPS.ME in Google Play.
There’s a small crowd of people, including yours, who aren’t happy with this chain of events. The new fork is a community-driven and is not controlled by a corporate entity.
Say
goodbye to:
- Wallets.
- Blockchains.
- Payments.
- Advertisements.
- Paid subscriptions.
- Promotions.
- Telemetry.
- Personal data collection.
- Tracking.
- Hotel booking.
- Taxi ordering.
- Corporate ownership.
- Contributor License Agreement.
Disclaimer. I am currently not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with My.Com B.V., Mail.Ru Group, and/or new owners of
MAPS.ME. I'm not in advertisement business. Android/iOS development is not my primary job. I have proven track of open-source contributions for the last 15 years. See My GitHub (
https://github.com/rtsisyk/) for details. My goal here is to establish a self-governed opensource project to save the legacy of MapsWithMe.
Please join our project today. We need contributors and volunteers.
