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.

Looking for nicely styled maps
Or maybe you want to create your own unique style? The Maputnik map style editor has some free styles to get you started.

How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions
Use docker compose to start an nginx and maptiler/tileserver-gl. Use an nginx config to send requests upstream to tileserver and cache.
Download a region file from maptiler, or make one.
That's it.
It's about 2h work, using certbot for certificates.
If you want to create your own styles, it's slightly more fiddly, but essentially it's https://maputnik.github.io/editor/#0.41/0/0

Viewing a Maputnik style on Android - Help Wanted.
I've made a map style in Maputnik. It picks up OSM tags to graphically represent road surfaces for gravel riding and bike touring. It's primarily for personal use.

Is there any map generator that can use Google maps as template for map generation?
They linked this tool https://github.com/maputnik/editor where you can make your own style for Mapbox. :)

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.

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.
