Make StreetComplete registered for josm: links?

[matkoniecz]

It would become possible to open it (once installed) from edit button at osm.org, if See openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website#5351 would be merged.

What? Why josm:? If StreetComplete was to be added to the [Edit] button on OSM.org, might as well have streetcomplete: as a scheme. Or rather, https://streetcomplete.app?<some parameters> as this will also work when the user didn't install the app yet. (Coming from the browser, streetcomplete.app links are opened in StreetComplete if it is installed)

Also, I thought policy was that only "fully featured" editors are shown behind that edit button?
Also, SC discourages users to edit random places, it would be inconsequential to then display it to edit any location, wouldn't it?

Why josm:?

Of course it only makes sense for apps that support (a subset of) remote control commands. But maybe everyone can agree to support load_and_zoom. Then we can have an URI scheme that would run any editor registered by the system on the user's end.

Opening SC via geo uri on osm.org already works...

[AntonKhorev]

With geo uris you have to choose an editing app from the list of all apps that can do something with coordinates.

load_and_zoom can pass an exact bounding box and an osm element.

[westnordost]

Neither of these make sense for StreetComplete, though.

So, basically, first it should be a policy decision by openstreetmap-website maintainers (or OSMF??) whether to include any editor software that are not (mostly) fully-fledged general-purpose editors on their respective platform (JOSM, iD, Vespucci, Go Map!!).

If adding other editor software is fine, I would be happy to implement whatever makes sense for such a link to StreetComplete. For example, it is conceivable to directly activate a certain overlay (e.g. Places overlay, things overlay, cycleway overlay, ...) and/or preset(s), and instead link to streetcomplete.app if the user hasn't installed StreetComplete yet.

Until then, this is a will not fix because 1. see @HolgerJeromin and 2. see my previous comment.
