Hi all,
Mapilio's iOS/Android street-level imagery capture app is now open source:
http://github.com/mapilio/mobile-apps
Every image captured through it is licensed CC BY-SA and cleared for OSM use,
and the team is opening it up so anyone can verify that in code, not just in a
privacy policy - and to invite the community to help build it: bug reports,
accessibility fixes, capture-flow improvements, new features.
As of 18 September 2026 the platform has over 20 million image records, 1,700
registered accounts and 280+ contributing accounts. The team's also planning
better panorama support, drone imagery, a marketplace, F-Droid distribution,
refreshed interfaces, and an updated contribution scoring system - plenty of
room for community input on where it goes next.
I've posted a longer write-up on the forum:
