I'll create an ideal UI for your "use osm" platform that serves as the missing promotional front-end for OpenStreetMap. This will be a welcoming, educational platform that bridges the gap between newcomers and the technical ID Editor.

This UI design for your "use osm" platform addresses the key gaps you identified:

Key Features:

1. Clear Value Proposition

• Hero section that immediately explains what OSM is and why it matters
• Compelling tagline: "The Map of the World, Built by Everyone"
• Visual emphasis on community and impact

2. Impact Showcase

• Statistics section highlighting OSM's global reach
• Real numbers that demonstrate the project's scale and importance

3. Simplified Onboarding

• "How It Works" section breaks down contribution into 3 simple steps
• Two clear paths: Quick tutorial for beginners vs. direct editor access
• Removes intimidation factor of jumping straight into ID Editor

4. Community Focus

• Dedicated community section
• Local groups, events, and support resources
• Emphasizes the collaborative nature of OSM

5. Professional Design

• Modern, clean interface that appeals to both technical and non-technical users
• Responsive design that works on all devices
• Clear navigation and call-to-actions

This platform would serve as the perfect entry point for OSM, providing the promotional and educational content that's currently missing, while seamlessly guiding users to the ID Editor when they're ready to contribute.
