[OSM-talk] How to check the historic popularity of a tag?

[Martin Raifer]

I'm currently working on exactly such a tool. I haven't gone out with
it yet, but a first working prototype is here:
http://taghistory.raifer.tech/, the source code and some
instructions/caveats are found on github:
https://github.com/tyrasd/taghistory.

I hope this fits your needs.

Best,
Martin
