Use cases are: - data storage - data aggregation/clustering - spatial indexing - geometrical computation (as long as you're OK with approximation, you can speed up a lot of things by working with CellID instead of actual geometries) - data visualization
I've seen it used by Databend, Helium, Breakroom (they did an Erlang binding on top of h3o), beaconDB, Greptime, Meilisearch. But I don't exactly know what they are using it for (just that they pulled h3o in their projects).

These functions encode and decode latitude/longitude to H3 cells and provide utilities for querying cell properties, neighborhoods, distances, and relationships.
