CoMaps was founded in 2025 by former Organic Maps contributors. The Organic Maps codebase was forked due to concerns about the project's governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. The CoMaps project was created, focusing on privacy, performance and community.

Shift to non profit is wild. I don't always agree with a change out of pure governance, but in this case it was affecting the software, so I think of it as a good move.

Also the logo fucking SUUUUCKED.
