Folium Help
A good thing to try would be to look over the folium documentation on their GitHub Page, Folium. For help with code you could ask ChatGPT to explain what you're interested in using their docs.

Framework suggestions for Map based application
I currently utilize Folium for a work project but would like to move it out of Folium into something that supports API requests for real-time data and vector tiles instead of raster.

2d map visualization library for JS
If you know Python you can use Folium produce Leaflet maps without using Javascript. I'm not sure if the updating functionality you require is possible, but could be worth a look.

Live update maps
Try Folium, here are some examples.

Geohistograms in Python
For our visualizations we will be using Folium. This is a description from the authors:

Placing a Voronoi diagram over a streetmap (using Python)?
I'm mapping some election results, and trying to create a diagrammatic representation of who voted for whom, and where. I'm using Python, and I can create a perfectly respectable initial map (without Voronoi diagrams) using its folium package, with OpenStreetMap tiles. See https://numbersandshapes.net/posts/post_election_swings/.

creating a script that displays live GPS telem data on map?
Look in the folium package. https://python-visualization.github.io/folium/

A More Interactive Folium choropleth
Choropleth maps are a quick and easy way to visualize a numeric variable geographically. I love the ease and interactivity of most functions from the folium module, but the choropleth method lacks interactivity and clarity in the legend.

5 JavaScript mapping APIs compared
Leaflet stands out as one of the top open source JavaScript libraries for crafting interactive maps. Optimized for both mobile and web devices, it is relatively small (around 42KB) and offers a ton of features, plugins, and a straightforward API. It works across all browsers and platforms.

Shots: Create Mockups
Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).
Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.
As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.
Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.
Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

Embed leaflet JS maps in notion?
Do anyone have any workaround on how to get leaflet js to work inside notion, either as an embed or as code, or widget? https://leafletjs.com/

Ask HN: When building with complex maps do you go with GMaps, Mapbox, OSM?
None of those things are what most in the GIS space would consider "complex", so you could go with any of the options you selected. For lightweight maps, I like Leaflet
