- openstreetmap-website User blocks on OSM don't have an API yet. Currently, all user blocks are listed on here.
Contributor Tiles: [JS, HTML+CSS] App which highlights the map tiles where a particular mapper is the top contributor. We will be writing a tile-reduce processor for osm qa-tiles that will generate a new tileset with tile boundaries and statistics of the contributors for that tile. We will then need to render them on a simple GL frontend where the user can query a username and the tiles where the user has top contributions will get highlighted. Mentored by @planemad
