History of OSM tag usage

OSM Tag History is a tool letting you plot graphs showing tag usage stats over time, was first created July 2016 and is available at taghistory.raifer.tech

OSM Tag History lets you compare multiple tags, and use it to observe a shift in usage over time from one tag to another.
