Adding a places rating system

🚀 Rating/review system for places

Description

Users will be able to review a place by giving it a vote and a comment. They could also be able to add a photo.

Describe the solution you'd like

http://openplacereviews.org/ could do the job.
(using multiple services other than openplacereviews could be used, but this would increase complexity)

True, we have already integrated place images (upload / display) and going to continue

https://lib.reviews/ is also a cool project that might be worth looking into. It already has a basic support for reviewing OSM nodes.

Displaying reviews from both https://lib.reviews/ and http://openplacereviews.org/ would be great.

lib.reviews is very generic project, while openplacereviews is inmature but it starts solving main problem connecting OpenStreetMap ID with Permanent ID. Right now OpenPlaceReviews manages only Images associated with Permanent ID but once it becomes more stable and gets tools ready it will have Reviews as well.
While other Open Review projects don't have any connection with OSM id, so it's not possible to use them directly.

I'm not sure I understand your reasoning here.

lib.reviews is very generic project

this is a non-problem. AFAIK they are generic so that they can potentially be adopted by a lot of different projects with different usecases. It is generic on their side and it won't be on OsmAnd side (I don't expect to be able to review or see reviews of books from OsmAnd, for example).

solving main problem connecting OpenStreetMap ID with Permanent ID

I don't think I'm completely up to date with this issue, but I think they are planning for an tighter integration with OSM anyway. At the moment they are using node/way URLs, but if that is the standard way to refer to an object in OSM, this will probably end up being the solution adopted by lib.reviews as well.

Still I understand that support for multiple services comes with more work and maintenance.

@d4f5409d AFAIK there is no way to review POIs (with written reviews or, let's say, 1-5 star rating).

What you can do is to submit pictures for some POIs (mainly commercial activities like hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars) through OpenPlaceReviews, because that's what that project implemented so far.

Cool! Well, I'm waiting for it. Then OSMAnd would be a real Google Maps competitor!

Is the OpenPlaceReciews plug-in on iOS?

[vshcherb]

OpenPlaceReciews plug-in on iOS - it is not complete yet, it doesn't allow to upload images

On Osmand 3.9.10, android 10, I can see the OpenPlaceReview plugin, I can enable it and I can login to my account in its own settings and then... I can't find how to use it. In map's settings, I don't see anything... Nothing appear on the map... I guess I'm missing a step. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Open a POI of a supported type (such as restaurant or hotel), scroll down to images, you can submit a photo to openplacereviews.

Actual reviews are AFAIK not yet supported.

Since OpenPlaceReviews is pretty dead how about adding support for Open Reviews instead?

Quoting from their website:

Building an Open Data Ecosystem for reviews of places, companies, books, websites and more.

[...]
Open Data Ecosystem for Reviews, with the following guiding principles in mind:

 * Anyone can read and write reviews without censorship or monetary restrictions.
 * Anyone is free to develop different algorithms (including no algorithm) that help them make sense of the reviews. This includes both non-profit and for-profit purposes.
 * Anyone can develop applications which leverage the generic infrastructure while being well suited to the needs of their community.

The reviews infrastructure and dataset is hosted and maintained by a non-profit organisation.

Looks like MapComplete already has support for Open Reviews.
