Hi! Author here, wasn't expecting that someone would share this hastily-hacked-together post on HN ^^'

Thanks for reading, and ask me anything!

PS - I suspect some may have missed my footnotes if they were reading on mobile - tap the numbers to see them.

Hi, great article. I'm pretty new to OSM. One of my hobbies is 3D scanning for photogrammetry. Is there a good way to contribute 3d models (retopologized ofc) to OSM in some way? Could include drone scans or buildings, sculptures, etc.
Thanks! I've been interested in mapping with drones myself, but the cost has kept me out.

The 3D Model Repository sounds like what you want. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/3D_Model_Repository

Wikimedia Commons might work for this, too. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Commons#3D_mod...

Tangentially, if you aren't already aware of them, you may be interested in OpenDroneMap (ODM) https://opendronemap.org/

and OpenAerialMap (OAM) https://openaerialmap.org/

Those footnote toggles that transition to margin notes on bigger screens are absolutely amazing! Definitely going to try stealing that, thank you :)
Glad you like them :D They come from the tufte-css project - https://github.com/edwardtufte/tufte-css
