StreetComplete libraries

[smichel17]

In #3294 (comment), I mentioned pulling out some functionality into a general-purpose library… and then I remembered that there already are several such libraries which have been moved out of the SC code base:

StreetComplete/app/build.gradle.kts

Lines 147 to 155 in 29e7ab6

	// finding in which country we are for country-specific logic
	implementation("de.westnordost:countryboundaries:1.5")
	// finding a name for a feature without a name tag
	implementation("de.westnordost:osmfeatures-android:2.1")
	// talking with the OSM API
	implementation("de.westnordost:osmapi-map:2.0")
	implementation("de.westnordost:osmapi-changesets:2.0")
	implementation("de.westnordost:osmapi-notes:2.0")
	implementation("de.westnordost:osmapi-user:2.0")

@westnordost I'm wondering how closely they are tied to StreetComplete. Is anyone else using them (that you know about)? Do you think of them as separate libraries, which you would continue to maintain if you stopped SC development for some reason, or parts of SC which you're making usable by others (or something else)?

I created osmapi before I started working on StreetComplete. I think of them as separate libraries and they are maintained independently of the app.

Yet, I know no other project that uses them.

Though, countryboundaries is used by Vescpucci.

Just for reference in case anyone stumbles across this discussion in the future, streetcomplete-mapstyle has its own repo because it is primarily maintained by @ENT8R, not @westnordost. (You can otherwise find this info in #183, linked from the mapstyle readme.)
