Ready for Beta Testers!
Hey all. So I’ve added a lot of polish to the site over the last few months including:
- responsive layout
- interactive charts (bar, line, bubble, sunburst)
- button panels for all charts with pop-overs for instructions, and custom downloads
- upgraded .csv downloads and formatting
- upgraded WebGL 3d visualisations using dash-deck (deck.gl, pydeck)
- custom linear colour interpolation for 3d visualisations (globe & jigsaw)
- search dropdown in main navigation for rapidly finding dataset
- SSL HTTPS
- new user guide video showcasing all main site features in high resolution
- new loaders to clearly indicate when things are loading
- custom colour schemes for main map and selected chart (over 180 combinations)
- custom CSS for pop overs
- client side javascript callback to make tooltips disappear properly
I think I’ve got the platform almost there. The entire navigation menu is now fully programmatic and constructed (with callbacks) at run-time. I’m looking into adding new datasets soon, but presently 77 are available.
Would love some beta testers to give it a run and give me feedback on functionality and things you would like to see in the site 
Currently running on Heroku standard 2-x dyno with 3 x gunicorn workers (3 concurrent HTTP workers) so it should be able to handle a bit of traffic.
Coming soon:
- new datasets
- chart downloads (pdf/png)
- alternative map projections (other than mercator)
Cheers
Dan
