    QGIS has been a key piece of my career for the past 10 years. This year I'm launching a SaaS where QGIS is, again, the most fundamental piece. I'm only hoping everything goes right so I can contribute back to this project what It deserves. One of the big OSS stars. Thanks QGIS team.

    Wow. I recently joined a grid management company and we use an (in my view) ancient piece of German software called Lovion. It's written in .net 4 I think.Crazy to now see this piece of (free!) software that essentially runs circles around the software we pay heavily for.

    I remember, 10 to twenty years ago, when GIS was still a huge part of my job. QGIS then went from being the "cheap opensource contender" to being my main tool... How much better it was than the previous ones...

    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

    Qgis my beloved used it during my Masters extensively and its great. Only ever problem i had was that it did not support circular maps. Or rather non rectangular map borders. So i had to use some arcane magic in Julia to make those.

    I get an 504 error when trying to open the page. There's no changelog page for 4.0 linked on the home page, so I guess that it hasn't been created yet?

    Another project that makes me want an equivalent for 2D or 3D CAD! CAD is missing a QGIS or Blender…Congrats to QGIS team, looking forward to native apple silicon support

    QGIS is great. One of the truly good open source projects. I used it to successfully extract 3D height data for the mountains next to my hometown. This was not an easy task since the miuntains are on a national border and I had to combine height data from two national sources. It still worked out perfectly fine.
