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

[Dave F]

Very nice. Provides just what I want.

Initial thoughts for possible improvements:
A way to remove unwanted tags/traces
make checkable items more obvious (reset zoom) or make zoom automatic maybe?
A way to share the webpage & not just an image of the graph.

I look forward to seeing its next incarnation

Cheers
Dave F.
