‘Add to Felt’ QGIS Plugin
The gift economy of Open Source is community driven and filled by folks with ideas that just go for it!
We at North Road are blessed that we get to join these creatives on their journey in order to get their products to you. Recently, the first QGIS flagship sponsor, Felt, engaged us to further strengthen their support for the up to 600,000 daily QGIS users to integrate their workflows between QGIS and Felt.
The result is the “Add to Felt” QGIS Plugin, which makes it super-simple to publish your QGIS maps to the Felt platform.
To get started, install the Add to Felt Plugin from the QGIS Plugin manager.
If you don’t have a free Felt account, you’ll need to sign up for one online (or from the Add to Felt plugin itself once you have installed it).
Within QGIS, users can easily publish their maps and layers to Felt. You can either:
- Publish a single layer by right-clicking the layer and selecting “Share Layer to Felt” from the Export sub-menu
- Publish your whole QGIS project/map by selecting the Project Menu, Export, “Add to Felt” action
Whilst Felt is loading up your map, you can continue working and it will let you know once your map is ready to open on Felt and share with others.
We are happy to let you know that the collaboration does not stop there! As with our SLYR tool, there is ongoing development as the requirements of the community and technology grow. So install the Add to Felt Plugin via the QGIS Plugin manager, and let us know where you want it to go via the Add to Felt GitHub page.
