Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: I built a transit travel time map
Super awesome! I like how you just color roads to show time. When you calculate polygons to try and cover the whole area in some 5-10 minute bucket, you can wind up with all sorts of odd holes far away from roads. Keep it simple.

Egregoria is a city simulation with high granularity
A|B Street does some of that, but it is not a game: https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2022)
Active Travel England | Software Developers and Data Engineer | Full or Part Time | https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/active-travel-en...
Active Travel England will be developing tools to support evidence-based investment and policies to support sustainable transport. We're hiring 3 roles at present (there will be more jobs in January): https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?SI...
We are already working with the transport simulation and scenario development tool A/B Street and the Low Traffic Neighbourhood design tool: https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/ and plan to create new web applications to transform active travel infrastructure design, monitoring and evaluation.
An exciting thing about these jobs from a software engineering perspective is that you will be starting with a relatively blank slate. In the UK we already have tools like https://bikedata.cyclestreets.net and https://www.pct.bike/ but need to go further than this. Long term, the 7 strong Data and Digital team that you will be part of will develop a comprehensive map based design support tool to provide data of the type in BikeData (and more datasets), drawing tools, and automated assessment of proposed interventions.
These opportunities will enable you to shape the future of tools for active travel investment and policy in England and, because the software develop as part of these roles will be open source, beyond.
These high profile jobs will have a large impact, see here for context: https://twitter.com/Chris_Boardman/status/159648662743800217...

34 extremely good websites(to have fun) that most people probably don't know about - dancing robots you can fling, 180 websites in 180 days, hot or not for generative art, draw auroras
https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet - project to plan, simulate, and communicate visions for making cities friendlier to people walking, biking, and taking public transit.

Transit route mapping
I've not heard about remix before, but some of its functionality seems similar to A/B Street which is aimed at comparing the effects of proposed changes on city traffic.

GitHub actions for my project to automatically compile for Linux/Windows and create Windows-installer.
Thanks for sharing! Are you signing the Windows executable to get rid of "unverified developer" warnings? Inno lists signing as a feature, but I've yet to come across a simple guide on how to build and sign Rust binaries using Github actions. (Some references here])

Are there any big projects written in Rust without any use of unsafe code?
A/B Street, which comprises a UI library, lots of data import pipelines, and traffic simulation. 100k LoC, the only unafe is to make system calls through glow

Prettymaps: Small Python library to draw customized maps from OpenStreetMap data
Especially if you're trying to clip your entire map to some boundary, rendering the ocean is hard. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/issues/32 has some examples of "flooded" maps when the heuristics get the inversion wrong. https://github.com/a-b-street/abstreet/blob/9761373c4b215485... is my incomplete attempt to deal with these partial multipolygons.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
You can download an extract of your country from Geofabrik, run it through Tilemaker (https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) to get a nice mbtiles file, and then use the built-in Ruby server to give you something you can load in your web-browser locally.

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
I ran into this solution last week on HN and decided to give it a try. The pipeline that got me up and running was geofabrik osm.pbf[0] downloads, pass those into tilemaker[1] to create mbtiles, and then pass those into pmtiles[2] to make the pmtiles.

Can I render tiles directly from osm.pbf data without a database?
If you do vector tiles instead of raster, you could use tilemaker: https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker

Offline imagery from another navigation apps.
Try to convert by GDAL files from geofabrik, ogr2ogr make my laptop hurt, but not tiles. Found tilemaker, looks better, but i get only markers, not images.

Are there any vector MBTiles provider apart from Maptiler?
I'm trying to build offline maps for my app and I've figured out the app part. Now all thats left is getting the MBTiles file for all regions of the world and host it on my own somewhere. I tried to generate these files myself using [tilemaker](https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) but I soon realised that with my limited computing power it would take forever to process 50GB worth of files for the entire planet.

Any alternatives to Mapertive
I suspect the (even if it sounds weirdly complicated and overkill) easiest way these days would be to create vector tiles from your data with tilemaker https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker (given the small size of your dataset this should be super fast), then use an existing or custom mapbox-gl style to view the tiles with maplibre https://maplibre.org/ in your browser of choice.
What are some alternatives?
