Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
Umap?

Hello!
If that's not feasible and what you're doing isn't secret then perhaps something like uMap might work? This allows you to add overlays for the things you want to highlight and has a few different styles of basemap that tone down some of the clutter of the default "default" style. It also lets you pull (small amounts) of data into it via Overpass e.g. pre-mapped fishing spots or toilets. This can then be shared as a link or embedded in a site.

If I want to self host a map, would it be faster to have an .osm reader or an SQL database?
Having an OSM basemap overlaid with points is easily possible with uMap, for example https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/

Urban Planning Software?
Have you used the OpenStreetMap ecosystem of ID/JSOM or maybe uMap (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap) if you need the data separated from OSM?
- uMap has suffered some sort of data loss, many have lost some of their maps

Android app with easy note-taking functionality
Not an App, but did you take a look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UMap? With it you can make personal maps with OSM base layers.

Depends what you mean by private. For something shareable on the web you might want to try one of the uMap instances, not sure if you can keep them secret though. If you decide to use them I recommend you log into an OSM account first as otherwise it is very easy to lose the edit link.

Alternative to Google My Maps
For public display one of the uMap instances is probably easiest. It should allow you to import your previously exported points and also allows line and area attributes. The share link included embed code for a website. The instance linked by /u/beardy64 is probably the most popular, but there are several listed at my previous link. I would recommend you log in before creating the maps as without a login you have to carefully keep track of you edit URL's if you might ever want to update things.

Any ideas for Firefox search?
If someone is looking for an open-source webinterface for OpenStreetMap that offers a bit more eye candy, I recommend taking a look at Qwant Maps. Another useful OSM tool is uMap (source).

Animated traveling map with Leaflet
Leaflet is the most famous open-source map library, with lots of plugins. 2 of them are used to animate a marker on the map:

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.

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
