Oh wow, TIL there is finally a simple way to actually view OpenStreetMap! Gosh, that's overdue. Glad it's done though!

What was wrong with the main site? Genuine question https://www.openstreetmap.org
Oh.... last I checked they didn't have that?
The OSM Foundation has been serving raster tiles for years and years (that's what's visible by default on the slippy map at www.openstreetmap.org): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_Carto

After on and off experimentation by various contributors, OSMF just released vector tiles as well: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/vector/

Thanks, I'm just out of date
... And then it became 1M rps!
