Actually, there is. There is mapillary (bought by Meta at some point) and KartaView (I don't think it is that popular). Code is not free, but licence for images is permissive. My personal favorite is Panoramax - completely open source, open licence and even federated!, but it is still in early stages, but keep an eye on it, looks promising. As always, problem with these efforts is not source code, but rather data.
At quick glance Panoramax looks interesting (I have looked some at the others in the past) but lots of the website is in French even selecting English. Maybe that’s something I can assist with.
Yeah, if you use OsmAnd it shows you mapillary images in the app. You can click around the same as with Google, but the images are all open source.
Thus problem has already been solved :)
Damn, panoramax is impressive. They already have the street where I live!
KartaView went proprietary, and they were dishonest all the time. Look at their github issues with more comments. IIRC there were also bought out, by something that's only popular in some country.
