Organic Maps abandoned by some developers who create CoMaps
It is known that in the Open Source world things are not always easy, apps are developed by a community of developers each with their own more or less open philosophy, and this is why the famous app Organic Maps seems to have forked and the alternative CoMpas has been created.
At the root of the disagreements there seems to be a financial management that is not very transparent and collaboration and funding with other proprietary apps such as Kayak.
These are the reasons that pushed some developers of the app to create an alternative, in addition to the fact that the project has, so to speak, stagnated due to external factors.
CoMaps was born, which apparently does not yet have an official logo but already has an active website https://www.comaps.app/it/, a Telegram channel https://t.me/CoMapsApp and promises to guarantee privacy and app usability even offline, something that Organic Maps also did. Will we see a future Fork for this app as well? Let's leave the answer to this question to time; what is certain is that unfair competition and corruption unfortunately arise when an application becomes inconvenient and so, in some way, attempts are made to hinder it.
Although still far from the features of Maps such as traffic, street view, best times to travel to avoid traffic, and all the other functions that have made Google's app famous, the developers of CoMaps will now be free to add new features to the application, previously held back by the former management, it seems. We'll see…
