Respond to "I mapped it!" posts and/or scan for mapping on previous entries.

Or maybe reply/edit the post with a new image showing the changes. Optionally this could include statistics like how many edits/mappers where involved. Or some other metric indicating if it maping was likely completed or might need a second look (e.g. scan for fixmes etc, not sure how exactly such advance stuff could be implemented or even how it should be handled if at all(so maybe just a second image of the map so that users can compare))

I just finished up the little bit of code so the bot will post Carto screen grabs. I'm almost done with some code to get it to scan for folks responding to posts. Hopefully it'll start scanning and posting updated screen grabs this week.

If there's other "stats" kinds of things that folks would find interesting (ex: updated building/roadway/landuse counts) I'm always happy to add stuff. Anything that you can write an overpass query for is pretty easy to plug in. My only concern is keeping it relatively simple and actionable. No one wants a super noisy bot! :-)

I need to do some cleanup but the bot now will respond. What do you think of this? https://en.osm.town/@SmallTownUSA/110659361110992435

I think this is now in working order. Definitely let me know if you discover otherwise.

Wow, that was quick! Sorry for my late response. Seems like it works fine now(I saw on Mastodon that you had initially some problems). Very cool!

You might wanna add a note about this feature to the Bot's Bio. And maybe even make an announcement Post about it, since this is really cool and I can imagine a lot of people would like to try it out! :)

Good reminder! I'll update the pinned post and send out a message about the update once this gets finished https://github.com/watmildon/SmallCityMastodonBot/issues/10
