#
[tantek] ok there we go
#
[artlung] So Dawarich and GeoPulse may deserve mentions in pages. We do indeed have a lot of geo-related pages on the wiki. https://indieweb.org/Category:location
#
[tantek] indeed!
#
[tantek] I would say anything tool/app that someone in the community uses especially with/for their personal site, should be added. I'd discourage pure "hey I found this" separate pages. Those could go on a list on an existing page
#
[artlung] IndieWeb relevance must always be considered, 💯

#
[tantek] what is Organic Maps
#
Loqi Organic Maps is an offline first mapping and navigating mobile native app that works by downloading OpenStreetMap data for wherever you open it, and does not share and track your location with any servers, unlike popular silo mobile mapping apps like Google Maps https://indieweb.org/Organic_Maps
#
[tantek] indieweb relevant << anything that helps you [[silo quit]]
#
Loqi ok, I added "anything that helps you [[silo quit]]" to the "See Also" section of /relevant_to_the_IndieWeb_wiki https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=114101&oldid=104024

#
jone42 what is silo quit
#
Loqi silo quits are public statements by individuals announcing they have quit posting on or using various silos with no intention to return. Sometimes people take a temporary break or soft quit, AKA a social media break or social media detox https://indieweb.org/silo-quit

jone42 what is osmand
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "osmand" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "osmand is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
jone42 what is foursquare
#
Loqi Foursquare is a venue reviews, recommendations, and lists silo based on its previous location-based checkin support, a feature that was spunout to the separate Swarm application which still shares some data back & forth with Foursquare https://indieweb.org/Foursquare
