Still barely more detailed.

The problem with the whole OSM ecosystem is that it expects a lot of domain knowledge of technologies, formats, tools, their relations and features, limitations, that is rarely explained well, or explanaitions are often terribly outdated. Feels much like the JavaScript Frontend frameworks for an outsider, it is a lot of effort to get to an overview and understanding, despite the concepts are not new.

Usually this is a sign of a project that isn't ready for a lot of attention. It's very brave and a little bit stupid to offer Open Source to the world (especially without a sustainability plan), if you put a lot of effort into 'marketing' at an early stage you've probably just overpromised to people not focused on that domain, won't be able to deliver, and will burn out, and it will become yet another abandoned project.

Perhaps in a few years, as the project picks up uses and contributors, it will get its own website and support network and be easy to understand and use by "anyone."

I can’t tell if your comment was meant to be ironic but OSM has been around for 20 years, and its data is used by billions of people.

The comment was about https://github.com/markuman/sms, not OSM.

I don't think this project is looking for a lot of attention.

It is more like a sample of cool stuff you can do.

I agree, but still 1-2 paragraph about why this was made, what is for laymans, and what it is in terms of OSM ecosystem. Possibly my extrovert self makes it natural to write similar intros to repos I make public. (I even used to blog!)
