<p>it serves as a reminder for people that tags are supposed to be human-readable […]<br>

<p>opening hours string are difficult to understand for humans <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="wink" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f609.png">😉</g-emoji><br>
But softwares like OsmAnd display it in a human friendly form (or at least just say open or close).<br>
For inscriptions, the tool is a simple editor with a copy and paste to OSM editor.</p>

<p>We found a case where a public swimming pool have 5 different timetables per week, and 7 for school holidays.<br>
The total length was near 255 characters, but bigger.</p>
