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.
