Speedy access to the latest, local COVID-19 data with a familiar interface: the Globe

spider-covid-19-viz-3d's Issues

Use latest versions of app by default

Now that #7 has been merged (and will presumably make it into all dev versions in progress), how about reverting the index files to use GitHub API to pull file list from app folder and use appropriate latest versions for both stable and dev? Will save you effort going foward!

Resume autorotation after delay

@theo-armour this always one of the things you tell me to do. Easy to implement.

Should also perhaps remove the reset view and rotate buttons, as well as improve the look of the global statistics button. These are things I could do, but want to get our work flow synced first, so maybe you should just address this.

Too much information?

As of dev 2020-03-21-20-11, the presentation appears to be getting too busy. That version introduces a second popup in the upper right-hand corner with daily cases. The too popups sometimes differ in numbers, which is confusing. Having so much numeric information on the screen detracts from the current simplicity and conciseness.

If the daily information is to be incorporated, perhaps a more discreet presentation is in order.

visions

z-fighting on small bars

@theo-armour instead of using three standard boxes stacked on one another, how about constructing your own rectangular geometry with three divisions on each long side for face coloring. I can do it tomorrow if you don’t first.

P.S. love the coloring of bars: nice direct indication of the state of each country.

New deaths today doesn't move to ground

Hi @theo-armour, hi all!

I noticed that unlike the other cylinders the cylinder for new deaths today doesn't move to ground when I use the toggle.

Nice work!

Update popup when scrolling through data by date

@theo-armour it would be nice if the information in the popup was automatically updated when scrolling up or down through dates. This would allow one to see changes not just visually but numerically.

Is possible contribute with Spanish version?

Data attribution

It is quite important to link to your sources, and at the moment I'm not seeing that in the menu or legend. If you are doing any transformation to the data, then even better than a direct link would be to a Data Package that is used for this dataviz, which describes the changes made to the schema or content.

Timeline

As I already mentioned in an issue for a similar project, it would be great to have a timeline to scroll through the data and see the bars animate ^_^

window.history.pushState()

window.history.pushState()

Some links of a Fiddle or help with a static link to updated files would be a huge help to all my efforts.

I hope you can help!

Expressions of hope

I'm not sure how best to describe this, but what I wish for in an interactive viz like this, is the ability to discover what's hot and happening "out there". For example, the home page of gitter.im has more or less live messages from around the world. I wonder if we could show positive tweets and expressions of hope and gratitude for the courage of health workers around the world. Or what do you think?

Display of sidebar title in Firefox

@theo-armour the version number is too large in Firefox to fit inside the sidebar width and so always starts on another line. This occurs regardless of what setting is used for word wrap in the enclosing <h2> element or whether all of the text is concatenated inside the <a> element. As a result the title looks simply awful in Firefox. Safari and Chrome do not have this problem.

Options are to replace <h2> with <p> or widen the sidebar a bit.
