I like this name: it's cute, short and memorable. I also like that 'co-' can have multiple meanings (cooperation, coexisting, community, carbon monoxyde).

A quick search for comaps shows a couple different projects already using that name. comaps.de is some kind of map visualization. Using the comaps name could lead to some confusion.

Carbon Maps

[–] Pleat1752@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A play on organic meaning carbon-based (as in organic chemistry). Also I feel like it should be easy(ish) for speakers of other languages to pronounce. I may be wrong though!

Lief Maps

after explorer Lief Erickson

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Alternate spelling of Leaf Maps as well (since most people will mis-hear and type the English word rather than the name) and maybe a leafy Lief is the mascot ;)

[–] CubeOfCheese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait I think I like this better

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

It's neat, but would cause confusion with https://leafmap.org/

Seems appropriate for an Organic Maps fork 😄

There's MapLibre - a fork of Mapbox before it went full commercial

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Also http://libremap.org/ and https://github.com/libremap/ (different projects as far as I can tell, one of them dormant).

I'll duplicate it here

Pastk said: cOSMaps (co-OSM-maps) COSMOS Maps (Co-OSM-OpenSource)

And some ideas with the help of AI: COLABMAP (Collaborative Open Libre Access Based Mapping Application Platform) **COMMAP **Community Oriented Modern Mapping Access Project

to be honest, no word makes me completely satisfied.

Moo Maps

Based on @LilDumpy@lemmy.world 's great suggestion, I thought of the slogan "Grass-fed, free-range, organic, and community-powered maps". And of course a cow for a mascot.

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

In keeping with the "organic" theme, my submission is:

Free Range Maps

[–] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Common Maps

[–] Niquarl@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe Green Map with an even greater focus on the durability of the app?
