OSM is a truly incredible resource. It's often lightyears ahead of proprietary maps in terms of feature accuracy. Often far behind in terms of points-of-interest.

It powers painless adding of maps to so many products, painless offline data analytics and joins (I built https://wildpocket.com/ by joining OSM to iNaturalist data).

Truly incredible and under appreciated by general public. I love street complete, it opens up OSM to so many beginners with the simple UX. I think there's an ongoing need for "beginner-friendly" OSM tools - I've prototyped https://mapmender.com/ to help map the "last mile" routes for emergency response that are inherently hard to keep updated. It's a WIP passion project, feedback welcome

A few days ago I was made aware of Street Complete here on HN. Same thing there - it makes it incredibly easy to submit additional data, such as opening hours and road types, to OSM.

Is there any work on tooling for points of interest? Google Maps makes it easy for me to search and update when I see changes e.g. closed for vacation, etc.

https://every-door.app is my favorite for light-weight POI editing. You can blast through an entire shopping mall very quickly

I don't have a specific reference, but here is a useful catalog of OSM-powered/OSM-editing tools:
