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.

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.

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.

Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API
You might want to peek at https://github.com/headwaymaps/headway . I have never used it myself, but it at least shows how to integrate the different pieces.
The individual software components often have alternative with a similar scope. So if you don't like a choice headwaymaps made, browse around.
The data sources are mostly "unique", i.e. everybody downloads from the pages (Geofabrik, Who's On First, etc), so not much to gain here.
Editing styles has some alternatives, but the OpenSource editors are far away from the quality of the Mapbox editor. Maputnik or editing the 1000+ SLOC JSON by hand are the way to go, imo.
Personally I use GeoFabrik to download OSM extracts → osmconvert to extract the smaller bounding box I am interested in → tilemaker to render vector tiles to individual .pbf files I can serve like it's 1999. The bounding box extract is not necessary, but it's much faster if you need to tweak things in tilemaker. Both tilemaker and osmconvert are packaged for at least Debian out of the box, so setup is easy enough. Rendering a decently sized metro area takes < 30mins with this from scratch of compute, < 5min with the bounding box extract.
Note that adding icons (sprites) or fonts is extra work that comes on top. And while the tools themselves are great, there's still a lot of gluing/plumbing/fitting things together that you'll need to do. If headwaymaps works for you, it's probably the easiest choice.
