Congrats @stnameslab.bsky.social. What a wonderful resource your team has created for geographers and place/street naming scholars @geographers.bsky.social @americangeo.bsky.social @rgsibg.bsky.social
It has been about two years since we launched our street-names search apps.
This figure summarizes the usage of the apps.
In total, 28,400 queries and ~6,000 downloads. Not bad for an app like this, but we hope the numbers keep growing
