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.

Geospatial Nix – create, use and deploy today
This is awesome. Such a great use case for nix.
I do a lot of geospatial processing in the cloud and I've been using Tippecanoe a lot to create vector tiles. It pairs well with PM Tiles for storing on the cloud. It seriously increases the web app performance for massive data sets. I queue these up with ECS tasks to process our json/csv/parquet input and create optimize vector tile outputs.

https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles
Tippecanoe would be a great addition to your nix packages. I've been thinking more and more about how Nix could fit into this pipeline.
Great work!

Self-Hosted Vector Tiles
I'm the author of a few of the tools mentioned in this post!
A convenient new development is instead of using tippecanoe -> go-pmtiles to create PMTiles archives, you can now output .pmtiles directly:
tippecanoe -o bks2.pmtiles mainroad.geojson ...
This is available in Tippecanoe (https://github.com/felt/tippecanoe) v2.17 and later.
Thanks to Felt (https://felt.com) for supporting this open source work.

How would you generalize a very high density vector map for various zoom levels ?
Things I have tried so far: - Just using native vector tile conversion as it involves feature simplification. Doesn't work since smallest feature just disappear, resulting in blank regions instead of "averaged" regions. - Using tippecanoe's built in features to drop/merge in densest zones. Results are disappointing because of unexpected (and too big) differences between each zoom level. - Rasterizing the map, sieving, then vectorizing with smoothing. Doesn't work because pixel information are mixed. I would need a way to rasterize while preserving the land-cover category (with some kind of majority filter ?), but haven't find a way to do this with any QGis built-in or plugin feature.

OpenStreepMap 2012 vs. 2022
Take a look at Tippecanoe, which is under active development again[0]. The original developer, Erica Fischer (who is wonderful to work with), has a fork[1] where new work is happening.

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.

.osm file on Android
MBTiles is also a format that is supported more and more, something like tilemaker can help you with that. https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker

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.
