Finally closing my 2024 #30DayMapChallenge! Wrote a blog summarising what I learned, the behind-the-scenes challenges faced, and the fun I had creating maps last Nov. Check the blog and maps out here: 🗺️🔗 mappyurbanist.com/blog/2025-02-m…

I have been thinking that bounding box is the best form of abstract art

@c_maralb Great guess! Yep it’s dividing the street network but not a cartogram, just the bounding circle of each subnet 🙂

@Kenneth_KHW Cartogram package? Dorling? Guess you trimming streets network? Looking forward to know!

@UrbanDemog Thanks! I have seen your posts about {duckspatial} from time to time (and other transit-related packages of course). I'll see if this could integrate into my workflow.

@Kenneth_KHW it's amazing, isn't it? We're bringing the power of DuckDB to #rstats with {duckspatial}. A major update to the package real soon. see cidree.github.io/duckspatial/in… #duckspatial

Trying DuckDB (and GeoParquet) for the first time 🤐

@idoklein1 Oh it’s just the native PowerShell in Windows. I exported the table as GeoParquet and dragged it directly into QGIS afterwards There's a DuckDB plugin though (#plugin-details" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qduckd…). Wanna try once I get more familiar with the database

@Kenneth_KHW with what tools in qgis did you use to query using duckdb?

A fun one: Find 2 train stations that are close together, scrape all the POIs nearby, categorise by their store names, and see where the hidden line splitting the stations is Would be a great proxy to visualise the geographical understanding of people

After many requests for phone viewing, I added a mobile mode to my award-winning map “Climate Visualized.” The interface now fits phones, tablets, desktops, and ultra-wide screens.📱 Suggestions are greatly appreciated: cartoguophy.com/climate-visual… #climate #cartography #dataviz

@typebrook 下載更新了沒？ 用了半天體驗不錯，沒中奇怪 bug 和開之前的 3.X 檔案也沒有問題（非常重要）
