This piece of software brings back fond memories. It was just amazing to discover this after struggling for days with commercial ill fit tools and suddenly feeling i could do anything imaginable.

I'm trying to find a good project to work on to start learning QGIS, and what you described sounds interesting. Would you happen to have a write-up of this?

sorry not really, but i recommend something where you have an interesting question and at least one dataset you need. A nice starting point is always to get some of your private data exported google and others have about your location history and come up with nice questions. another approach is to browse the plenty of public datasets and use gapminder for inspiration about topics or questions you want to answer.
