Show HN: A map that tells you if a NYC cafe has WiFi, a restroom, and an outlet
Such a niche map is something that is very hard to pull of. You need a community of millions to contribute geodata, so if such a map is not based on OpenStreetMap, it is destined to whither after a few years.
But, don't fret. This is precisely why I made https://mapcomplete.org, where you can create niche maps based on OpenStreetMap. This jumpstarts general information but has the possibility to add very niche questions. The added bonus is that, when you add e.g. a cafe, it'll be available in all other maps as well.
For this topic, I've added a filter to filter on 'has internet access'. I also added the question if a cafe offers electricity, but those haven't been marked in NYC yet; so here is a map with all cafes offering internet access: https://mapcomplete.org/cafes_and_pubs.html?z=9.8&lat=40.697...
Browsing can be done without an account, contributing requires an OSM-account.

Public restrooms are hard to find in America. That’s a problem
For those who want to help out with adding all public toilets to OpenStreetMap: I made a website to make this easy: https://mapcomplete.org/toilets
You can see all toilets without an account and add a missing toilet or update information with a free/libre OpenStreetMap-account. Adding information also means it'll get picked up eventually by many of the navigation apps out there (such as Maps.me, Organic Maps, OsmAnd, nearly all of the cycle+pedestrian route planners, ...).
And there are many other thematic maps - a template system makes them easy to setup: https://mapcomplete.org/

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap
Just want to point out that this user is the creator of the wonderful tool MapComplete (https://mapcomplete.osm.be) which helps you adding more information to the data available in the OSM database. If you have some free time and have local knowledge of your area, I really suggest giving this tool a try, you can choose between multiple themes (which will show different quests) and add info that you know the most.
- What is the best app through which I can contribute to Open Street Maps?

Selling Machines
I'm thinking about making a mapcomplete theme specifically for all types of vending machines, but I'm lacking the time for it.

OpenStreetMap is in trouble - a critical review of Microsoft's 'Bing Map Builder'
They aim for a simple (aka reduced) editor to use - if they work out some of the technical issues - they kind of deliver that promise. But of course, I like MapComplete more as "simple editor". (Disclaimer: that's what I made)

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
The reason that I haven't pursued a gamification approach with https://mapcomplete.osm.be is twofold:
- I'm focusing on other usability issues (and features) first

OpenStreetMap is in trouble – a critical take on Bing Map Builder
Woah, your vision sounds very similar to the goals of an open-source web app I started building a few years ago. The idea was inspired by Cities Skylines but I started with a 2D approach since everything is much simpler than with 3D. The idea was to help urban planners fill sustainability gaps in their cities by showing which areas needed access to amenities like bus stops, daycare, grocery stores, and schools. The approach, as mentioned is to overlay buffers surrounding existing amenities, dissolve those buffers, and find gaps. There can even be an interactive component to show the impact of placing an amenity in a neighborhood, like those emojis that radiate outward when placing a public service in Cities Skylines. The inverse problem can easily be accommodated with the app, helping people find desirable neighborhoods for their next home.
I'd be glad to jumpstart the open-source project if I can find any contributors to help build the project.
