Looks like it might have been case sensitive.

I did try using a - in front of the user name, but their notes still showed up. :/

I wish Notes Review let you filter out a user. One person makes a lot of notes in my area, and many of them are ones that are low-priority to add. It would be nice to be able to see everything else. I know I can do this on StreetComplete, but it would be helpful to be able to do it on desktop as well.

Yeah, GIMP was my backup plan. It would just be hard to read the street names.

Unfortunately, I don’t know what any of those are. Sound complicated.

The closest thing I’ve found so far is https://geojson.io

That’s the intent of OpenSidewalks, but last I checked it was only available for three cities.

When you open openstreetmap.org, on the right-hand side there are some buttons. Click the one that looks like a stack of papers (it’ll say “layers” when you hover it) and there will be an option to enable a notes overlay.

In the editor on the site (called iD) you click the icon on the right that looks like a line and a square (Map Data on hover, or press the U key) and it will have an option to show notes as well.

Generally I leave notes alone for a week or two to see if the user intends to resolve it themself (I talk to myself a lottttt in notes while I’m surveying) but if it’s still there after that, I do my best to resolve it.

I hate seeing unresolved notes in my area. They can often sit for over a year, and then we don’t know if the information is still relevant. So when someone creates a note in my neighborhood, I try to make the necessary changes right away. I leave the notes layer on in the website and check them out whenever I’m verifying changes in my neighborhood.

I think about the surface qualities like this, descending from best to worst:

“would I ride rollerblades on this?”

“would I ride a road bike on this?”

“would I drive a compact car on this at normal road speed?”
