In a world where data privacy is increasingly important, CoMaps stands out. We believe that your navigation data is yours, and only yours.

· No identify people: CoMaps does not know who you are.
· No tracking: The app does not track your locations.
· No data collection: Data is not collected.

Join us with a navigation app that prioritizes your privacy.

We are delighted to announce that we have received a #Zerodha #FLOSSfund grant https://floss.fund/blog/update-2025-may/
This is a great way to highlight the global magnitude of libre software. Ideas, development, or funding are not centralized in one place. No one is buying the power; everybody can contribute as they can and want. We will use this budget to improve #Weblate UX and implement some major features that were waiting to get boosted by funding.

" #Trump has an opportunity to match his administration’s actions to its rhetoric: stand up for fair markets and let Europe’s pro-competition law run its course.
