Hi all,

Together with two UK nonprofits who are working on the climate crisis
(OpenClimateFix and Possible), I'm looking for someone who could help
us to put together a phone app for spotting solar panels in the UK.

We've done really well so far on getting UK solar panels into OSM. The
aim here is to engage a wider public, people who don't know
OpenStreetMap, by making the simplest possible phone app, with the
simplest user journey: take photo of solar panels, submit.

Our idea is to use the Mapillary APIs, which provide a very good
back-end https://www.mapillary.com/developer - so, the programming
task is relatively straightforward: build a simple phone app using
Mapillary SDKs. We're just looking for someone with the skills and
willingness to do it!

Please get in touch with me directly.

Best
Dan
