Top-level
 I feel like I've invented another job for myself, posting those tweets regularly. Let's do a few small things now. Like, I love doing efficient focused tooling. GeoJSON Point Editor, while not entirely related to OSM, is exactly that. Faced with making a GeoJSON for ~100 point amenities, geojson.io was frustrating to use. So I made this. Double click for a new point, type some words for properties (in a already focused field!), filter by keys, download the result. 12 comments
For a very long time the leading repository on my github was "leaflet-grayscale" with a hundred stars. I love @leaflet and made too many plugins for it. This one was quite simple — but I guess useful enough. It just makes the map grayscale. There are too few layers fit for a visualization background. Sometimes removing colors (and labels if possible) is good enough.  Back to OSM, here's one you'd ban if you could. Sisyphus make a person's mapping work as pointless as rolling a stone up a mountain. It plain reverts every changeset a person uploads to OpenStreetMap. We used it in Maps.Me for reverting edits of our QA team. Not ideal, which Frederik noted, but it works, the map is clean, no hassle with moving data to the sandbox. Uses simple_revert as a library, of course. That library is underrated. People usually need three things from maps: tiles, geocoding, and routing. Three things too mundane to work on. For Maps.Me Changes Monitoring, I filtered edits by countries. For that I wrote a simple reverse geocoder: QueryAt. It returns a country, a region, and a populated place for a given location. 3 GB database for the entire world, no configuration or query parameters. Won't recommend using it now though: 8 years later, you could do better.   |

Another one I made for my last job, and it's for annotating GeoJSON geometries: "Geometry Review".
You load a set of geometries to compare into it, and it shows a bunch of buttons for each set: "OK", "Bad" etc, your choice.
No extra clicking or studying required, you glance at the map, press a 1/2/3 key, see the next item. And export the result in the end.
Used this tool to annotate hundreds of routes and review predictions.

Geo is easy until you see it on the map.
