Funny that this is on the front page of HN. I’m currently attending a 3 day in person immersive course at a university. For what applications are you guys using it for? Curious about the potential

I work with and contribute to a QGIS plugin that manage water and sewage network data. Together with PostGIS, it's a powerful tool.

I used it to map out storage locations and refill stations at our online grocery picking stations, then export it to read in using geopandas in order to calculate the shortest distances between all locations!

Viewing a GPX file that I also view on Osmand (Android). QGIS can be configured to display the POI colors by `type` ("restaurant" is red, etc). Combined with a handrolled script which adds Osmand's non-standard markup, I am granted the superpower of... being able to distinguish between points on both mobile and desktop.

I used it to write papers about glaciovolcanism early in my career. Later, I used it to study caves on the Moon.

I've used it for gixapixel scale rendering projects. Giant wall murals at 300 DPI.

QGIS is incredibly powerful.
