Hello, I'm in the process of making a website that enables users to add street names to an OSM map. The website will have only one functionality, which is adding street names for unnamed streets. I want to create this website for my hometown, because streets in my hometown are not named. So, I want to provide an easy way for the locals in my community to suggest and add street names for unnamed streets. I've used idEditor and I like the feature where I can click on a street and it will give me the option of changing a street name, or add one if none already exists. I want to use this UI in my future website, so that the website basically has a map, the user comes and chooses a street (like in idEditor) and the user will be prompted to enter a street name. Pretty simple I guess, but my experience in web development is pretty minimal and I don't really know where to start from. I would appreciate any guidance or help.

To replace the presets, you can just set Here is an example app I made for "building damage assessment". The only file that is changed from default iD is the
