Hi there,

If this isn't the best place to ask this question, please let me know.

I used to enjoy the Wikipedia app's functionality for finding articles by
location. It was good for exploring interesting places near and far and
learning about what was there.

That feature seems to have been dropped, so I made my own FOSS app,
available here: https://github.com/matthew-matvei/wikiscape

It's very basic but it's enough for my own personal use. *I wanted to know
if there was any interest in Wikimedia to bring some attention to the
project, initially with developers and then users.* If there is, I'd be
happy developing it further to support more advanced features; if there
isn't, then I would leave it where it is, which would be a shame since I
can't help but think I'm not the only one who misses the simple 'Map'
functionality in the old Wikipedia app.

I've checked out the seemingly similar Wikivoyage, but found that it
doesn't aim to provide the same functionality of exploring wikipedia
content using map-based location that Wikiscape would serve to provide.

Please let me know if there's any interest.

Kind regards,

Matthew James
