Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org/.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

Registered in 2018 for reasons I can't remember but didn't do much. Then about 2 weeks ago someone told me about StreetComplete and I haven't been able to stop contributing since.

Are there other such good apps that can assist in contributing to OSM?

StreetComplete is by far the most accessible way to get into OSM, in my opinion. It's like a gateway drug, because eventually you find something missing that you can't add with StreetComplete and then you begrudgingly open iD on your computer, find out how easy it is, and the rest is history.
