Streets GL — a new 3D renderer for OSM

I wonder, is there a way to create vector tiles on the fly from overpass?

That changes made were visible practically immediately has been a big boon of this software, as it somewhat motivates to map all those things in detail. Now, if you have to wait up to a week + time until the cache is refreshed for the changes to show up, part of this excitement will be gone.

Now that all the logic that translates OSM tags to properties for rendering is in the backend code (as far as I understand it), the only way to bring that back would be a mode where vector tiles are generated directly from the response of an overpass query on the fly.
