Hello again! Small update to RSS filtering service. In the past few days I've found that it is probably difficult for everyone to use current feed creation process ( which involved copying RSS URL from the image on openstreetmap.org page). So I simplified the process. Now you only need URL to a history page, which is usually visible and copyable from address bar in your browser. The app will extract needed RSS feed on its own and generate filtered feed url and present it to you.
So if you tried the service and it did not work well somehow, you can create a filtered rss link again, this time providing with history page URL, not RSS url. Detailed steps are descripbed on http://positron96.appspot.com/osmfilter.html . If the service worked well for you, there is no need to change anything, filtering process and interface itself did not changed a bit. Any comments and reports are still highly appreciated.
