These name tags at State of the Map US are beautifully designed, but the name needs to be bigger! I have to get way too close to people to read their name.
Someone on the @openstreetmap forum tries to make The Map™ better for people with impairments and asks for input from/by those people (because there are a lot of abled people mapping the world and they don't always understand).

#OpenStreetMap people I need you: I want to offer users the option to search for objects in a radius. the objects have a german postal code and users should put in a postal code as well. Is there any data source that will allow me to translate postal codes into coordinates? I can only find the boundary of postal_code but is there also something like the center? Or a way to calculate that?
Are there any good software/websites that let you add notes to a map?
I'd like to write down notes of places in China where friends live or I have visited, to help me learn the geography.
To improve routes used by cycling apps thst leverage #OpenStreetMap, check out the free open source app #StreetComplete so you can easily mark bike lanes, bike racks, and surface types.
In addition, you can capture images of your local bike paths with the Mapillary app, save them locally, and then upload them to panoramax.openstreetmap.fr which is the only completely open source street level imagery tool.
