Every Door – OpenStreetMap editor for POIs and entrances

More specifically, here's how to enter a bench into OSM: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbench

You can just enter an amenity:bench poi, but it's useful to include additional information in tags. StreetComplete, for example, has a quest that adds the backrest information.

Osmand lets you add pois, but offers little guidance which tags are appropriate for which kind of poi. Every door seems a bit more helpful in that regard.

I'm glad there are people in this world concerned with tagging not just benches but also their backrest information.

I should add that when you add or edit a bench in Every Door, it shows the backrest and the material attributes at the top. So hundreds of benches in my area have these mapped :)

EverDoor uses https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema to facilitate mapping, meaning some suitable tags to the main tag are automatically suggested.
