I thought this would be dead simple but trying to label a road as “bike-friendly” isn’t as intuitive as one would hope (am I “adding” a road even though it’s technically there or reporting “wrong info” piece by piece?)

OSMAnd in particular is a nicer app for cycling anyway, and can be used completely offline (although it does take some time to adjust the interface).
For me, OSMAnd~ epitomizes FOSS: Can do literally everything, privacy friendly, completely offline, but incredibly ugly, and with a UX so horrible it keeps everyone but the idealists away.
I’ve been using the app for hiking for years and I still constantly find myself looking for the right menus or the back button behaving in unexpected ways. The search function is also basically unusable.
I must have some kind of Stockholm Syndrome then, as a daily OsmAnd user for many years I’m very frustrated when I have to use Google Maps on someone else’s phone. The UI seems so backwards and there’s no scale to the map.
