onlockdown.life website

onlockdown.life

This repository contains source code for http://onlockdown.life website and the data fetcher used for it.

The idea is to have a single page app w/o backend support that will show days in lockdown with tally marks (a.k.a. prison calendar etc.). The page is hosted using Github Pages.

This project is nothing serious, just a Javascript refresher for me.

Credits

I'd like to say special thanks to all the maintainers and owners of the projects my website depends on!

Lockdown data

I'm getting the data from the github repository of The Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-projects/coronavirus-government-response-tracker https://github.com/OxCGRT/covid-policy-tracker.

Country detection

Using free API from ip-api (https://ip-api.com/)

Favicons

Generated by Favicon.io (https://favicon.io/) initially, then adjusted colors manually.

Fonts

Using Google Fonts (https://fonts.google.com/)

Layout

Using Bootstrap (https://getbootstrap.com/) which in turn uses JQuery (https://jquery.com/) and Popper (https://popper.js.org/)

Loading spinner

Using one from https://loading.io/css/

onlockdown's Issues

Country data looks inaccurate, find a better source?

Move favicon to a separate file

Move JS to a separate file

Move country data to a separate file

Add a README

Describe the project, give credits. Add UI to the page that links to this readme.

Move CSS to a separate file

Use pure CSS for layout

Save country name or code in the URL, so it can be shared

Use pure CSS instead of bootstrap for dropdown
