The Open Source GraphHopper Routing Engine 8.0 Released
Well I think what he means is that we dropped the explicit support of Android and the example app with offline maps (Mapsforge), see this issue: https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/1940
But offline routing should still work on Android. But as you need JDK 1.8 support this will exclude a few older Android versions and devices, I think.

A software that will plan the most efficient routes for visiting address from my work location
Graphhopper. It has an Android client that uses its web service. You can also try out the web app.

Dangerous pedestrian crossing
This is now fixed and deployed. See the route here and the specific fixed examples here. Note that you can still find the dangerous spots via clicking the "stop" icon below the route information multiple times. But this is likely a result of the bad cycling infrastruture as cycle.travel contains these short dangerous parts too and if you do such longer routes for Germany it does not happen.

I Made A Way To Find Gravel Roads!
I'd suggest refactoring to use a self hosted version of Graphhopper (https://www.graphhopper.com/open-source/ - they have a docker image you can use and pass in an OSM file to build a graph on) or OpenRouteService to limit your cost exposure to google.

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
Valhalla is great (I've contributed a few patches and run it for a while)!

- API to get the name of the cities/locations/districts between two geographical points?

Self-hosted schedulers?
if you attached a geolocation to each meeting that should be possible. either using the google maps API or a self-hosted graphHopper instance

Map matching GPX -> GPX?
I just improved the documentation for the map matching a bit. Maybe this also helps a bit.

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

replacing stock apps with FOSS alternatives..
Organic Maps & OsmAnd~ are the classic map alternatives but i don't use them.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
