We're excited to announce the release of a new feature integrated into our QTribu plugin for QGIS: QChat! This new addition allows you to collaborate in real time with your team or other GIS fellows directly from QGIS.

We're in 2024 (unless you're reading this in 2025, or 2026, or... well, you get the idea), and let's be honest, Teams or IRC have their cons. Plus, you can't even use the hashtag #GISchat there, you can't meet fellow GIS enthusiasts and you definitely can't win Geotribu stickers 😉... Honestly, it's time for something new.

Introducing a new way to chat directly in QGIS: QChat, a feature that lets you communicate with your peers within the best desktop GIS software around. The question is: why? And the answer: why not?
