quake_explorer_app's Issues

add back test checks to CI

Improve quake type selectInput

It would be better UX if a quake type cant be selected when there is no earthquake of that type given the minimum magnitude

Migrate to default appsilon header

Testing the popup module

Introduce CD to deploy any changes

Improve responsive layout on mobile

Switch to toggles for quake type instead of dropdown

Make sure that the CI action is working

Testing the data manipulation module

fix: map action of top quake selection

introduce development environment versioning (renv)

Divide code into reasonable modules (based on rhino's box modules)

minor ui improvements

Add a dark mode version and toggle

Write documentation for modules in app/view directory

Update data sources (is a new dataset available?)

extract filters to module

improve project folder structure (based on rhino)

Introduce CI (automatic testing using github actions)

Fix download data and zoom out buttons

Currently, these buttons (Download data and Zoom Out) do not do their job when pressed

Switch to real 30 day data

Improve test coverage

Improve coloring aesthetic of the markers on the map

Earthquakes are measured using the moment scale, which is a log-scaled measurement. So the difference between magnitudes increases as the magnitude increases (Moment magnitude scale - Wikipedia).. We can map the marker colors to 10^magnitude to better visualize the impact of the earthquakes, keeping the labels on the legend the same.

Extract the map functionality to a separate module

Introduce integration testing (based on shinytest2. BONUS: based on cypress)

Manage custom CSS and JS

Extract data manipulation into a logic module

Testing the quake display module
