I'm so glad I don't have to reinvent this

sweet find.
Hexagons are cool without doubt.
Unless I misread the webpaper, the only benefit is that it improves accuracy when calculating distances between areas.
Umm.. May I ask why you felt the need to invent this?
I'm using hexagons for little territories in a game
Ah I see! Makes sense, haha.
I'm still nerdy about binary-geohashes so I was quite intrigued to compare them to h3.
If space distortion can be neglected;
H3 seems way more computationally expensive but I wonder how it compares in space efficiency

Trying to say Thanks for sharing h3, it was news to me.
If you spot how many bits a hexagon takes, please let me know! 😁
Red blob games blog is also a treasure trove for hexagon stuff
