Comrade @Parsani@hexbear.net suggested to add more economic data and I was able to (at least link) to various data sources. I will look for deeper integration another time: You will find these in the Nexus > Misc Tab

World Inequality Database

UN Comtrade

International Labour Organization

International Energy Agency

World Bank

OECD

Feel free to propose more suggestions (I probably repost this call in the next newsmega as mondays ususallly seem to be the days these threads get reset)

It's probably because I manually edited Israel to be Palestine and it screwed with the file 😅 Thank you for reporting it I'll be able to fix it later this week. Feel free to add issues to https://github.com/hexatlas/lemmy-atlas/ if you find more

I ended up making it public :)

It's not my first project, but the first one that I ended up making open source. I've been mostly coding for fun on front-end personal projects. Software Engineering is such a big field, that all I know is that I don't know enough probably never will

Thank you for your offer! Let me know if you need help setting it up

Right now I only managed to add IMF data as a proof of concept (There's a bunch of indicators to choose from). There's a lot more datasets that I would like to be able to see on there and the ability to compare countries/regions. Ideally we could visualize capital and commodity flows between two selections

Copy paste from another comment:

You can either search for a place or click on it. You'll see various scopes: provinces/territories, countries, intermediate regions, sub regions, continent. You can click also on these to change the scope. What it actually does is send it as a search query into lemmy and you see the search results to it (I built a fancy search page). IN the Fediverse Tab you can select the instances, sort types, and other settings from lemmy. On the Nexus Tab you have a similar behaviour, just for the various modules. You'll see the wiki of whatevery is selected on the map :)

tldr: Attention [Pink]: Select an option [Purple] to reveal selected information [Yellow].

I gave it a quick and dirty integration in Nexus > Misc (Link it externally)

Unfortunately to have deeper integration I'd need to be able to get a json response (or do an iFrame, which I would like to avoid). It's a similar problem I was facing when looking for ways to integrate marxist.org. They use a google search plugin :(

Also it seems like there aren't that many pages in the format: http://bannedthought.net/{country}/index.htm and you often land on a 404 page :/

I was playing around with the same idea but haven't managed to make it work yet:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-markdown (what I'm currently using for markdown) work with
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-highlight-words

I was helping myself with CTRL+F and "Highlight All" in Firefox as a workaround :)

Not at the moment. It's on netlify, but am looking for ways to move off of it. I reached out to the admin/devs also @chay@lemmygrad.ml made an offer

I'm fairly new to development and haven't done any open source yet. I asked some of the lemmy/hb devs and will make the necessary steps. I like the idea of having to have an hb account a prerequisite from @xj9@hexbear.net

It is already. Click on the Nexus tab, select prolewiki and click on any country

This is because the map tiles repeat infinitely, but the clickable layer doesn't. Unfortunately I haven't found a good solution to this yet :(

I am in favor of Open Sourcing such a neat project tbqh

Yeah I tend toward that too. Once I stall with development or know I won't be able to continue I will anyway at the latest and will make a post.
