OpenStreetMap – RSS Change Notification

A quick post today on a cool service for OpenStreetMap I’ve recently discovered: For many years, I’ve been using Osmand and other tools on my smartphone not only for maps, local search and navigation, but also to contribute changes, i.e. new shops, opening hours, etc. etc. Recently, I wondered if I could see who else has recently updated the map in my region. After a bit of searching, I found WHODIDIT, that shows recent changes of Openstreemap on a map. Even better: One can get updates via RSS for a region by drawing a rectangle on the map, which generates an RSS feed. Works great and gives me a much better understanding, how many people and how often changes are made where I live.
