Is there any other Fediverse project that allows easy location integration with either Open Street Maps or Google Maps besides Hubzilla and Friendica?

Streams

It has a full range of location services such as check-in, checkout, and distance search, but the fine print is that it's merely the newest member of the Friendica/Hubzilla family tree -- if you are ruling them out for specific reasons.

@mike I keep hearing about Streams, but I have not found a link so that I could check it out. I admit I haven't looked super hard either, though.
Actually, I'm a big fan of Hubzilla and Friendica. I'm not ruling them out.
I have a few friends who want to leave Facebook but want something they can easily check-in their location and also, easily share photos along with text- only posts. Friendica, so far, seems to fit the best from what I've used.

@mike Oh, and getting notifications working on mobile (mostly Android) I've not been able to get either Hubzilla or Friendica to pop up notifications on my Android. I forgot to mention that above.

https://codeberg.org/streams/streams

It's a repository that I contribute to and made public domain, not really a project or brand or anything.

@mike Cool! Thanks. I'll check it out.

Afraid I'm not the best person to ask about mobile notifications. I know there's some code to activate the notifications api on android, but streams doesn't use it. I think Hubzilla can if you register the device in your settings. For me it was deciding which events should be allowed to interrupt me at inopportune times and for me the answer is "none".
