[OSM-talk] overpass turbo - a web GUI for Overpass-API

[AJ Ashton]

This is excellent - nice to see it as a hosted service now.

I don't remember how/when I stumbled on the GitHub repo, but I have been
running a local copy for a while now and find this tool indispensable. It's
great for quickly performing the many random inspections/lookups of OSM
data I find myself needing to do when developing stylesheets. Great work,
and many thanks.
