Wikivoyage Mobile App
I wrote this same article to Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab) and Wikimedia forum page but I share my ideas one more time to here. Wikivoyage is one of the best projects of Wikimedia. In last days, I'm so concentrated to develop the new opened Turkish Wikivoyage page. And I think, an official mobile app for Wikivoyage is a good idea. It can be perfect for the travelers around the world. The people mostly use their smart phones during traveling. This project will not make much sense if there is no app of WV.UcuncuUlus (talk) 13:44, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
