    I haven’t followed this software and company before, what do you mean, what is the catch?

    Adobe doesn’t offer any of its software for free except acrobat reader, where you get nagged about paid features constantly, but it’s easy to ignore.

    Why shouldn’t I recommend this over cracked Photoshop? Its features seems like closer to PS than Gimp or Krita.





  • Very nice project! Thank you for using OpenStreetMap! I love it when the project I contribute to gets used in interesting projects like this!

    But some quick notes, related to the map display: It’s called OpenStreetMap, there is no s at the end, written in CamelCase without spaces. The other more important problem is you forgot to include the attribution text on the map. For using OSM there is only one requirement, you have to display “© OpenStreetMap” somewhere on a corner of the map. More info about this on the website of the OSM foundation: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines

    I see the attribution text is displayed on http://trails.tchncs.de/ but not on https://demo.wanderer.to/ so I don’t know what’s going on.

    The basemap display on the demo website uses the tile server from openstreeetmap.org. This is very discouraged, and also can give bad experience to users. The tiles on osm.org are raster tiles, they are regenerated automatically after a change in the map data, they are aimed as a tool for map contributors, not end users. You can read more about this here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/

    There is a new totally free maplibre compatible vector tile provider, which uses the same map data, I recommend to switch to OpenFreeMap. Users can also self host OpenFreeMap, so some really privacy minded users could totally self host the full project this way.
