[HOT] OSM Analytics - your awesome map stories... visualized!

[Martin Dittus]

I’ve been playing with it today, and had a look at the front- and backend codebase, and I’m very impressed — it exceeds my expectations of what I thought possible for this tight timeframe! 

A testament to HOT's participatory approach to project management; at every step pulling in the right experts, and allowing them to shape the project. And a testament to the maturity of the OSM tech ecosystem; quite a few existing components and frameworks were incorporated to make this happen.

Congratulations to all involved!
