Been doing some #rspatial work for a while. 3 times a year for 4yrs as the data updates. Usually only get a brief thank you email each time. Today I found out exactly how important my output was with an example of how it was being used by a non-geospatial person to argue her case. Thrilled.
If you're a #QGIS + #rspatial user, you probably bounce between them all the time.
I built a plugin that embeds an R console directly inside QGIS.
Pull data from any R package or API and push it straight to the map canvas.
Everything in one workflow, no switching windows, no exporting files.

Attention #RSpatial community: NAD83 → NSRS and ETRS89 updates are hitting PROJ/GDAL/etc., potentially affecting sf, terra, gdalraster, vapour.
Roger Bivand is seeking feedback on his talk proposal.

panel figure showing plots of a5 traversal functions coloured by distance from origin cell.
Getting very into a5 right now, its such a clever geospatial index when you get into it! A bunch of new functions have landed in {a5R} including new traversal functions and paired cell distance calculation. belian-earth.github.io/a5R/articles... #rspatial #rstats
