The other variant is "Foo is an alternative to bar". While it could work in the niche you are in and it is totally fine to not target people outside of it, it could be really hard to get into.

Where can I find any discussions on how to actually test the restoration process? How can I verify that I really restored my 10k photos without losing anything?

Found it while researching visualisation tools for python. The plots in the examples look really neat, but the 5000 row limit (https://altair-viz.github.io/user_guide/large_datasets.html) is rather restrictive for some of my use cases, e.g. big interactive time series.

Has anyone on HN used it and found useful? What are the benefits?

Did you write it or did Claude code slopcoded it for you? Claude is the contributor to all your other repositories. There is a world of difference between "here's a problem that I'm really concerned with and poured all my expertise to solve it" and "I told Claude to fix it for me and now I'm gonna abandon it as soon as I'm done with the HN advertising".

You can just scroll down to the contributors section to see that it was indeed written by Claude

Because it is, Claude is one of the two contributors. Just another slop project made farming HN points and marketing.

For anyone wondering, here's the author confirming it

And here's their Claude skill for writing

Do you remember what you've used to add your business? The process shouldn't be so difficult and normally the changes to the OpenStreetMaps database are instant and don't require any moderation or review. There are some sites that were intended to help business owners to get info to the database, maybe there's a problem with one of them.

> The actual business is listed, but with a slightly wrong name. But I can put that exact slightly wrong name into the search on openstreetmap.org right now and there's zero results.

Can you give the name and location? I can look it up to see if there are any errors.

> Then I can manually zoom to the location (which is correct), see my business, tap on it... And nothing. It doesn't open. So given all of this, why would I bother with openstreetmaps as a business owner?

That's the part that annoys me the most. Counterintuitively the map at openstreetmap.org is NOT intended to be an interactive common user web-map, a Google map alternative. It is a non-interactive map for the mapping volunteers to get feedback on whether their changes to the OpenStreetMap database were correct. While you can still right click on a feature, select "Query feature" and look at the raw text, you are better look up your business on something like mapy.com or an app like CoMaps (that use OSM data to create a Google map alternative) to understand what would the users see.

You can get some info on the tag use with taginfo, e.g. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/cuisine#projects But it is really technical and not all projects provide this info.

The most obvious place where people will look for and query this kind of data are the OSM-based map apps: OsmAnd, OrganicMaps, CoMaps, mapy.com etc. I don't know if this data is pulled into other major maps like Google's or Apple's.

There are ways to add pictures as the tags of the OSM objects

Mobile apps can use this data to either give links to them (e.g. CoMaps) or display them in the app (e.g. OsmAnd)

The thing is that the best way to get the phones and opening hours is to walk in person and look them up. Any source for the automated collection is way more likely to be outdated/wrong than what the sign or the person behind the counter tells you. And can also have non-permissive license not compatible with the OSM license.

Think of it as a very stripped down and opinionated version of OsmAnd. It lacks a lot of power features, but is extremely fast and all of the options are easily available and work out of the box. So it's great for everyday use (especially in cities with a lot of POIs) but not as good for in depth travel and route planning.

For example, I've used F-Droid OsmAnd extensively when planning my trip to Japan, because its guides, WikiData and Wikipedia integration are godsend for finding interesting places to visit, but used CoMaps when I was there to look things up and build routes. I'm also exclusively using OsmAnd for writing GNSS tracks because I can fine tune the parameters of measurements it captures.

Damn it, it was the longest word I've already found in plural form :/ Not sure this is good puzzle design to be honest

+1 for this. Also not a native speaker and can't for the life of find the two last words in the #5
