Just learnt about the #quadbin spatial indexing. There is not much information about it compared to #geohash, #h3 or #s2. Has anyone worked with it before? Are there any pitfalls that I am missing, because it sounds freakin cool.

@coolbutuseless @atsyplenkov sounds like a single index value for every Mercator tile, implemented in quadkeyr and rosm

@coolbutuseless Just the most general ones — https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/articles/bing-maps-tile-system. I first have seen quadbin being mentioned in the raquet file format specification. Seems like carto really likes this dggs, because they use it a lot: https://github.com/CartoDB/raquet
