🗺️ About CoMaps

CoMaps is a new community-driven map app project born out of the desire to create a truly open, transparent, and community-focused navigation app. Our goal is to provide easy, offline navigation for travelers, drivers, hikers, and cyclists, all while respecting user privacy and supporting open-source collaboration.

We believe that the best navigation app should be:

• Free
• Open-source
• Built by and for the community
• Privacy respecting

🤔️ Why CoMaps?

The CoMaps project was initiated in response to the growing concerns and dissatisfaction with the Organic Maps project leadership. The original Organic Maps project, while initially promoted as an open community effort, faced significant issues related to governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. These concerns were detailed in the Open Letter to Organic Maps Shareholders. Despite some positive steps, the lack of a substantive resolution has led us to establish a new, independent path: CoMaps.

Open source protocol for multimedia content streaming

Casting made open source.
Cast media to your TV or PC.

What is FCast?

FCast is a protocol designed to facilitate multimedia content streaming and playback control from a sender device to a receiver device. The protocol is designed to support various streaming media such as video, audio, and image content. Unlike closed protocols, FCast is open-source which empowers developers to customize their implementation of FCast for their own streaming experiences.

The Sender App

The Sender is your remote control. Use the FCast Sender app (or an FCast supported sender app such as Grayjay) to connect to the receiver device via automatic discovery or by scanning the receiver's QR code. After connecting, you can start browsing and casting your media.

The Receiver App

The Receiver is the device that displays your casted media. Install it on your TV, PC, or other device. Once launched, it displays a QR code and connection details for your sender device to connect. Once connected, cast media from your sender app to start the show.
