[Gsoc-orga] Introduction & GSoC 2025 Application for Photos in Every Door | Soham Dixit

[Soham Dixit]

Hi OpenStreetMap Team,

I am writing to inform you that I have submitted my proposal for the Photos
in Every Door project as part of GSoC 2025 under OpenStreetMap. I have
carefully incorporated the project requirements, including OAuth
authentication improvements, Panoramax integration, use of StreetComplete
service and enhancements to the overall UI/UX of the application.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. I appreciate
your time and consideration and look forward to your thoughts.

Thank you, looking forward to the collaboration!
