So, I started making my first little @MapComplete layer to be able to add wayside shrines & images of them to OSM.
The "MapComplete Studio" worked well enough to create the necessary JSON for the layer, but is the process to get it onto MapComplete generally just to make a PR? Or is there a way to get it into the system without that step?

in reply to Bastian Greshake Tzovaras ⢠⢠â˘you can click the 'try it' button on the top right of studio and use it live.
Sharing that link will enable others to use your theme too.
A PR is a great option too, as it comes with benefits (translations, long-term maintainence, integration in the docs, discoverability)

in reply to MapComplete ⢠⢠â˘ah, so the âtry itâ url is stable and can be re-used on other devices? That part wasnât clear to me! I thought it would only work on the device I made it on!
Iâll play with that a bit before making a PR!

in reply to Bastian Greshake Tzovaras ⢠⢠â˘This first try at getting a "Wayside Shrines" layer onto @MapComplete seems not bad!
(So far the denominations-setting is absolutely incomplete, as not even a fraction of the Christian denominations are there, but oh well, good enough as a proof of concept)

in reply to Bastian Greshake Tzovaras ⢠⢠â˘Don't wait too long ;)
Some hints:
- ChatGPT is quite good in doing this kind of repititive task; you can use it to generate the JSON
- I (@pietervdvn) rather handle many small PRs then one big PR. A big PR takes a bigger time commitment, whereas small PR's can be done one by one in some lost minutes.
Furthermore, a big PR has a high chance of having one little issue blocking everything.

in reply to MapComplete ⢠⢠â˘The pragmatic philosophy we use is to push value as soon as the value is realized; not to wait until "it is finished". If MapComplete were to wait launching until "everythin is finished", it would never have launched. Software is never perfect.
Furthermore, a PR is also a good opportunity for some feedback. There are also some other thins we need to think about, such as adjacent concepts.
