Has anyone played this with a controller? It seems like the aiming would be awkward.

Ente has been pretty great so far. I have recently become a parent and don’t want to feed profile information on my child to Google, Meta, etc. So we don’t post to social media. We have been sharing pictures with the family through ente like we used to do with Google photos and iPhotos. It works pretty well. There are two things I wish they would fix/add.

1. Notifications sent to album members are inconsistent. Family members do not know when new photos are added.

2. No photo commenting or liking. Gives no indication if photos are being viewed or not. Would love to hear love from fam.

Otherwise, a great foundation.

Organic maps is great and I wish I could use it more. I commute in a city and traffic data is very important to me when it comes to route planning. It can be the difference between an hour commute and a 15min commute. Due to this, I’m pulled back to using google maps as my default.

Is it not possible to anonymize traffic data so that it can be made available in google maps? I’d gladly contribute a bit of data in order to improve this app. I’d even pay a bit of money for a pro version.

Great app all the same.

I’d be willing to share anonymized data as part of a collective traffic data alternative to Google. I imagine there would still be data fees associated with this data collection. We just really need to get an open source alternative to gmaps going. Gmaps is only getting worse. Like, what if something like Street Complete was also able to collect traffic data and feed it into a sharable database?

Alternatively, I wonder if they could buy traffic data from a third party like Garmin or something. I’d be willing to pay a small monthly fee to get away from Google.

This app is great. If it offered some sort of traffic aware navigation routing I would use it as my daily driver. I live in the city and traffic conditions can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, I don’t think it has this capability. Hopefully someday.

What happens next? I need answers!

I like organic maps but I really need traffic data in order to plan routes around my city. As far as I can tell there is no way to get traffic data into organic maps.
