The stupid things OpenStreetMap ops team have to deal with:
"Some lovely company thought the best way to check if this app is online is to do a very expensive query against OpenStreetMap... every 3 seconds... with hundreds of instances of this app" https://youtu.be/qhie14YKa-w?si=9_jsShC_IeJQFKWP&t=565

Crazy idea for a browser extension: Every mention of a street name is detected and linked to that place in your map tool of choice. "street name x street name" gets detected and is linked to that intersection.

Would be gold for politicians and other people working on urbanization and regulations. And just engaged citizens reading news articles with no freaking map for some effing reason!

It’s always fun to get a mention in the paper of record!

So I made game for only the most hardcore OSM folks. I hope the dozens (dozens!) of us enjoy. 🎉

"Think you know OSM tags? Prove it! Take turns adding tags to build a query. But be careful, if the combination you create doesn't exist on OSM, your opponent can call your bluff."
