Description

https://github.com/uber/h3/wiki/Roadmap lists Integration with GIS systems, such as QGIS. [HelpWanted]

has there been any progress so far? Are there any suggestions?

I myself currently load the shapefile of a country and manually generate hexagons, their centroids and WKT line strings as needed, but this is not very nice to use.

I have seen https://github.com/ThomasG77/30DayMapChallenge/blob/master/day4_hexagons/data/h3-processing.py but this also does not seem to be fully integrated.

Research direction

Review the GIS integration item in the H3 roadmap, the QGIS reference, and the linked h3-processing.py example first. Determine the intended scope for integrating H3 with GIS systems and define what supported workflows and outputs would count as done; the issue does not name implementation files or tests.
