I just wanted to spread awareness by crossposting, please comment your suggestions in the original thread.

In case someone needs context: Organic Maps was forked by its community awhile ago due to the shareholders not being entirely transparent. Full context: https://sopuli.xyz/post/25540134

Damn, the cartography enthusiast in me really likes this one.

Please share it in the original post that I crossposted as well! Will vote for that one.

Thanks! Should have simply made a post with a link instead of crosspost to raise awareness of the original post.

Since the first was organic maps, what if this one was named after something that comes from organic compounds? Bacteria were probably the first organic life to emerge, though that might not fit well into a name. But something along those lines.

Why is there now a community fork of Organic Maps? What happened to the original?

Sorry for being lazy, but I've copy pasted context quite a few times so I'll drop a link that has all the context: https://sopuli.xyz/post/26045384

TLDR: owners of Organic Maps have been shady and not transparent enough.
