Keeping an up-to-date rendering database means relying on worldwide replication streams from osm.org or per-country streams from @geofabrik . But what if I want my own extract area?
In 2014 I dug into osm2pgsql's "slim" tables, and wrote a script to trim the data outside a given polygon:

I use it for my "veloroad" tile server, but not sure if it works: the database grows pretty fast. Maybe it's just because people are mapping more than ten years ago.
This one is new. Couple days ago I released @everydoor 5.0, and for it I made a new thing.
GeoScribble takes inspiration from OpenStreetBugs, which was where we put our OSM notes before 2013. Just a simple server with no auth and a few fast endpoints.

The idea is, you draw lines and leave short notes on the map. Just like with walking papers.
I see it already being used in multiple countries. The layer can be added to @josmeditor and Rapid, or browsed online.
