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: Flatmap β a new tool to create vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data
Flatmap calls into user-defined profiles in 2 places: first when processing each input element to map it to a vector tile feature, then a second time right before emitting all vector features in a layer.
That second call lets you manipulate vector features on each tile using JTS geometry utilities (i.e. merge nearby polygons or lines with the same tags). PostGIS uses GEOS which is ported from JTS so you have access to pretty much the same geometry utilities - often with the same name.
It's definitely not as flexible as a PostGIS based solution - especially if you join faraway features that don't appear on the same tile, but in practice it was enough to port the entire OpenMapTiles schema.
See the basemap layers package: https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/tree/main/flatmap-base...
For example see the landcover layer: https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/blob/main/flatmap-base...
Which was ported from the SQL contained in: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/tree/master/lay...
Also, this OpenMapTiles PR might help improve your pipeline after it gets merged: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles-tools/pull/383

GraphHopper Routing Engine - Open Source Route Planning
To fully self-host a route planner (e.g. a "Google Maps" equivalent) you need GraphHopper for the routing and two other parts: you also need some visualization aka "maps" (e.g. with OpenMapTiles) and you need the address search (e.g. with Photon).

parsing Openstreet map layers in python
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I have been using openmaptiles to pull osm into postgres (in docker using quickstart.sh). If you can talk postgres in python then maybe that is for you?

Beginner Questions about MapBox GL JS
This is definitely possible. A very common use case is publishing custom vector tiles to Mapbox, but since you want to host the tileset itself on your own server, you can use something like tilelive to do so. It's easy to create your own custom .mbtiles with Mapbox Studio, but it's an open specification, so feel free to create your own from arbitrary geographic data.

SQLite 3.39.2
> I once experimented with using SQLite as a file store for small images
Mapbox productionized this with their MBTiles [0] format, to store millions of small vector or raster map tiles in an SQLite database. Much easier to work with than millions of images on disk.
