It is updated daily. As already pointed out, it doesn't do transcluded 
categories, but just looks at Category: links within raw article wikitext.

Nope, no interface. I've pretty much made it just because it was easy to 
do, and doesn't really take up any significant space in the index. If 
one dared to make a category intersection frontend it could possibly be 
useful for testing.

However, as discussed before, making an efficient and 
easily-integrable-into-WMF-type-setup backend is not exactly 
straightforward.

Cheers, Robert
