I have also been using Mapillary lately. Used it to report problems to the 311 to get pictures and locations. (But since then, I moved to SeeClickFix).
It is pretty easy to use. I'm especially thinking about new comers to the world of mapping. I've been asking a few questions and the guys have been responding pretty fast. It's worthed to take at leat a look to know about it.
