Hi all!
I'm a bit new here... after having used maps.me for ages, been disappointed with new direction and happy to find Organic Maps with "good ol' simple OSM based app"!
Now, I'm still using a day to day hybrid of Google Maps for places search, ratings... (and "My Maps", which is this close to be a "perfect app", but still misses some spots for me) and Organic Maps, for instance for travels and hikes (with more hiking paths, better walking path finding..., and slightly better bookmark management)
I somehow port bookmarks from one app to the other through KML etc.
But I still fail to find a proper bookmarks management interface on either side (or a third party for sync, but using 2 apps is already annoying to manage)
I started looking for opened points and ideas in this Github, but it seems some discussion area are more active than others and I'm a bit new to contribution to such open source projects.
From a "design" / UX perspective, I'd wish to see a traditional "tree-like" approach to bookmarks, where lists would be like folders, containing either sub-folders or leaf nodes (paths, landmarks)
Optionally there could be some additional features, like tags, multiple lines edits etc...
I read some parts of discussions on the matter and what would be the issues because this is mobile (and cross-platform) world, but mixing different existing applications look and feel, I think that something quite intuitive could be brought up. (or even propose switch between display modes if implemented)
The need for such tree-like approach could, first and quite obviously, bring a geography approach in bookmarks organizing (like Country -> region -> city)
Another option for user, for instance travelling, I really like to split between "historical" places, nature sightseeing, hikes, potential nice accommodations, restaurants... and being able to group them (but not having to look for them in hundreds of lists) and display only what I need at some point would be very (very) helpful.
I was wondering if this is something already planned, or in a backlog of some form, or if this kind of feature had been rejected for some reason.
If not, I'm quite newbie to mobile dev, but I'd be glad to take this as a learning opportunity and give it a go by small incremental steps (or with collaboration!) and try to deliver such feature if I can manage it (and if the need seems relevant)
Thanks in advance for answers / suggestions / recommendations for where to start...!
Edit: I'm adding 2 screenshots from apps with potential "look & feel" of such tree-structure, with either
a very "desktop-like" approach in "MyLifeOrganized" with (possibly nested) folders and items, that can be flagged, starred... (and multi-selectable, editables, copiable...), there are a lot of sub-features there, but the "UX" is nice
a more "app like" / windows explorer approach in ZArchiver, where current path is displayed and navigation to parent is done with a ".." line, so might be more cumbersome to navigate but easier to "click", that maybe a good "mvp" target though, and a good basis for incremental addition of other sub-features
