streetcomplete / streetcomplete-website Goto Github PK

Comparing StreetComplete/streetcomplete/README.md and StreetComplete website, the website offers Google Play Store and F-Droid for downloading SC only, whereas the README links to the GitHub releases as well.

README links all three download ways	Website links the both app stores only and forgets to mention GitHub releases

Use case
When you share a preset, you can save it as a QR on a URL, that looks like https://streetcomplete.app/s?n=Default&q=dctxvfjk3q9o8fwfehfmok78xv13fun&o=1 . You can save the URL to a text file, or email it, or similar.

If the URL is clicked on on an Android device, it should open in StreetComplete and add the preset.

But it might be the case (especially if someone is early in their journey of setting up a new device) that they haven't yet setup access to email, or an easy way of sharing files, or sharing a clipboard from a desktop PC.

They can click on the URL on a desktop PC, or on any other device with a web browser, which will open a webpage which says "After installing the app, scan the QR code again or click this link to apply the preset", but that doesn't immediately allow the new Android device to access the preset.

Proposed Solution
My proposal is for the website that you reach after clicking the URL could display the QR code alongside the other information. The user could scan the QR code displayed on the desktop on their new Android to add the preset.

Is it importing them from StreetComplete metadata?

Is it necessary to change both manually in case that it gets outdated or some bug visible on screenshot gets fixed?

I think linking directly to the main page of OSM is not following the user expectation.

I think linking to the explanation page of what OSM is, would follow the principle of least astonishment best.

What do you guys think?

Because why not...
