Keep CoMaps.

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

[-] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

I liked your suggestion quite a lot and came up with alternative based on it (the two words staying the same):

CartoUnity

Delta Maps (like the fork in the river)

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software with this name.

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

Lief Maps

  • after explorer Lief Erickson
[-] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago

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 weeks ago

Wait I think I like this better

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

Free Range Maps

[-] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago

Common Maps

[-] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago
[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately there seems to be existing software / websites with this name.

[-] ooprizrakoo@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Origami Maps

[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Reasoning:

  • Plaid patterns kinda look like a city street grid.

  • Plaid clothing/flannels is often worn by and associated with people who would buy organic, or are 'earthy' (see: Vermont Flannel)

  • This interesting thread.

Potential cons:

Could be confused with the Plaid Bank Linking App.

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.

[-] zyphlar@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Kingfisher Maps

Edit: typo

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

After the migratory bird the woodland kingfisher. Bonus mascot! I've searched and didn't find a name clash with another website/software.
