**An explicit non-goal** of MapComplete is to modify geometries of ways, especially generic geometry-editing. (Splitting
roads is possible and in some restricted themes is geometry-conflation possible too). If adding geometry would be supported, we'd also have to show all geometries (to avoid accidental intersections).
This would invite to show and map these other geometries as well, resulting in a general-purpose editor. However, we already [have an excellent, web-based general purpose editor](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID).

## What's the difference with StreetComplete?
## How is it different from StreetComplete?
This is the repository of _Map_ Complete. _Street_ Complete is an Android-only application where the contributor is shown some questions to solve, after which the pin will dissappear from the map.
StreetComplete can thus be seen as a Todo-map for contributors who go on a stroll, whereas MapComplete is a website showing relevant information and which allows to add or update information.

The codebases are separate, even though many ideas and some artwork are copied from the StreetComplete app.

We do however encourage you to try to create your own theme yourself - we'll gladly accept it as official theme if it meets the criteria.
