Happy to share a recently initiated side-project:
A template that generates a QField plugin, ready-to-go and boiler-plated with CICD integrations and workflows, QR code generation, translations framework, automatic releases, tooling around.
All you need is run one command, then the generation prompts guide you,

This project is in its early stages and welcomes feedback & contributions!

🪸 Why 'Coral Sea'?
The southwest Pacific holds the Great Barrier Reef and some of the most biodiverse, most climate-pressured coasts on Earth.
Field workers there are responding with QField:
🌱 Seagrass & mangroves (MACBLUE)
🛰️ GIS training (SPREP)
🔬 Tropical field data (Leibniz ZMT)
🗺️ Land cover across 10 nations (Digital Earth Pacific & maplandscape)The hardest places to reach often need reliable data most. That's what QField is built for.

🛰️ It's here: native NTRIP support in QField 4.2.
Sub-centimeter accuracy with no third-party app. Connect an RTK correction-capable GNSS device over Bluetooth, BLE or TCP, enter your NTRIP caster details in the positioning panel, and corrections flow straight into QField.
A status dot keeps you posted: 🔵 flowing, 🟠 stalled, ⚪ off.
Long requested by cadastral surveyors, now built right in. 🎯

📐 COGO in #QField: Point by XY[Z]
Know the exact coordinates? Just enter them.
Choose your placement:
📍 Current GNSS position
🎯 Crosshair on the map canvas
🔵 A selected reference point3D layers support elevation input too.
No need to stand on the spot to capture it accurately. ✅

⭕ COGO in #QField: Map features you can't reach on foot.
Define two reference points and a radius for each. QField calculates where the circles intersect — two candidates (A and B). You pick the right one.
Ideal for field centres, restricted areas, or features in difficult terrain. 🗺️

We've listened to your feedback.
Starting with QField 4.2, we are dropping support for GeoPackage, GeoJSON, PostGIS, WFS, and all other formats to fully focus on delivering the best possible Shapefile experience.
SHP. DBF. PRJ. SHX. That's all you need.
We know change is hard. We believe in you.
📂 One format. One future.
