Yes. The project seems to be in good hands while Micay is away. Regardless, the open nature of their work gives me additional confidence.

Exactly. This was always a trivial performance difference, but the toggle was added just to satisfy anyone who might hear such a statement and be unreasonably concerned.

For YouTube frontends: On the Linux desktop, there is FreeTube, on IOS there is yattee (IIRC), then there are web based front ends from invideous.

Louis Rossman mentioned the other day that they are in the process of creating an app that will allow you to follow your chosen creators across multiple services, so that you can continue even if their primary platform removes them.

If you’re looking for YouTube alternatives, check out Peertube, Odyssey, and Nebula (I haven’t looked at Peertube or Odyssey in a while, so I can’t comment on how they are doing).

Some basic information, including building numbers, can also be edited from within Organic Maps.

Address based search works, but the data is largely lacking.

You can help by adding building numbers from within Organ Maps (tap a building and, then “edit place”).

The underlying OSM dataset supports building number interpolation, so even a few accurate entries could be very helpful.

Open maps will improve greatly in the near future. The Overture Maps Foundation is working on an open mapping dataset to rival Google.

Unless open camera has improved dramatically, the GrapheneOS camera app is far better.
