qgis2web to export and share interactive maps
QGIS is an open-source GUI for working with GIS data, both for spatial analysis and creating beautiful maps. One of my favorite components of QGIS is its qgis2web plugin that makes it quick and easy to convert a styled QGIS map into a browser-based slippy map that can be easily shared. qgis2web currently supports generating output in three (3) popular formats: OpenLayers, Leaflet, and MapBox GL JS. This post covers the basic process of preparing a QGIS project to generate polished interactive maps via qgis2web.
I discovered QGIS a few years ago. Over time it has become my go-to desktop GUI for GIS work.

QGIS Project
I setup an example project in QGIS that uses an OpenStreetMap base layer (from QuickMapServices plug-in) plus two layers of U.S. Census Bureau data loaded from a PostGIS database I had handy. One layer provides boundaries and labels for the counties in Colorado, the other visualizes population density by block group.
