In 2019 we’ve been inspired by many beautiful looking maps (we’re looking at you #30daymapchallenge!), so this year we are dedicating #24daysofqgis to #dataviz, and sharing with you our insider tips to beautify your maps and data! 🗺️ Let’s begin...
Welcome to our #24daysofQGIS for 2018! Just like your Christmas advent filled with chocolate, each day we’ll reveal a #QGIS tip or trick for you to devour like a tiny tasty treat and improve your workflow. We declare this #qgisadvent officially open! Watch this thread.
Day 1: If you have a compatible video card, you can enable the experimental OpenCL mode within #QGIS. This offloads some tasks to your video card, potentially speeding up these operations by an order of magnitude or more (because who wants to wait!?) #24daysofQGIS 
Day 2: Turn off "Show partial labels" within your #QGIS project's label settings to avoid chopped off labels on the edges of your map, giving you an instantly more professional looking creation! #24daysofQGIS
Day 24 of #24daysofqgis: A brand new "Layouts Engine" to replace Print Composer, with sooo many new features that we can only showcase a few! E.g. easily distribute and resize a selection... (Coded by @northroadgeo, thanks to funding from numerous crowd funders!) #qgisadvent
...and snapping which works when creating new items...
...or how about a handy context menu, with actions for common tasks like grouping/ungrouping items?..
