A5 - a pentagonal geospatial index: https://a5geo.org

If you’ve used H3 the semantics should be familiar. The biggest differentiator is the fact that cells have exactly the same area globally, for why this matters see: https://a5geo.org/docs/recipes/a5-vs-h3

Since starting the project last year and providing implementations in TypeScript, Python and Rust it’s been great to see a community grow, porting or integrating into DuckDB, QGIS and many more: https://a5geo.org/docs/ecosystem
