Is there an tool or rss or something that would allow me to stay up to date on edits happening to objects I edited?

So say I was the last person to edit something, and now someone else has edited it after me. I would like to be informed of such an edit (to see if this messed with my stuff xd. cause that just happened and wasn't aware of it for a month or more and they retagged it all incorrectly)

(check existing replies in thread before replying)

EDIT: see reply, figured it out

@thibaultmol I think this somewhat deliberately does not exist, because it would make it easy for people to get territorial about "their" objects.

However, I have the same usecase as you and just use overpass, creating one set with all the objects I ever touched (user_touched: …) and subtract those where I’m the last to have touched them (user: …).

@dadavid ooooh, I don't think it exists because of a particular reason. I just think nobody's ever made a tool that does it.

Put the work around you suggested is a good idea and I'll do that!

@thibaultmol here is my version for reference: overpass-turbo.eu/s/1WbS

Works on all overpass api servers that have a recent enough version to support user_touched. Also works in overpass-ultra.us
Not particularly performant anywhere though :D

overpass-turbo.euoverpass turboA web based data mining tool for OpenStreetMap which runs any kind of Overpass API query and shows the results on an interactive map.
