#d3js

2 posts1 participant0 posts today

The data flow for the new project so far is as follows:

Maintain the data collection in Strapi - all news clippings, people, org info etc are kept in the CMS

@astro pulls Strapi data as a collection and builds static JSON files as ReST routes

#Svelte + #d3js pull the data from the ReST endpoints and draw the visualization in the browser.

The actual site is fully static, but I get the benefit of a full db and a nice interface for the backend, that is hosted independently.

#TIL about #D3JS;

"D3 (or D3.js) is a free, open-source JavaScript library for visualizing data. Its low-level approach built on web standards offers unparalleled flexibility in authoring dynamic, data-driven graphics."

#HatTip to @AdeptVeritatis who noticed that's what WeedTree is using for its visualisation.

Bring data to life with SVG, Canvas and HTML. :bar_chart::chart_with_upwards_trend::tada: - d3/d3

Seeking recommendations for a #WebMapping tutorial / course?

Slightly at sea on where to start.

- My current JS skill level is _extreme novice_.
- I don't have access to ArcGIS.
- Comfortable with #QGIS [*] and the #python #geospatial ecosystem (#geopandas #xarray #rasterio and plotting with #matplotlib)

Suggestions welcome. TIA. 👍

* I have looked at the qgis2web plugin, but having some issues associated with my aged laptop (2012 mbp running Ubuntu) and a 'Wayland session'.

Unabhängig davon, ob Faktenchecks tatsächlich gelesen werden, quält mich die Frage: Wie lange hat man als Redaktion wohl Zeit, einen Faktencheck zu erarbeiten?

Hier ein Versuch das Aufmerksamkeitspotential für einen Faktencheck über Bluesky bzw Mastodon Posts abzubilden:

Hi, sfba.social! Allow me to myself.

I just moved here from pdx.social. I can’t be summed up in a single toot, but… I love , , , , the coast, , and systems. Oh, and my three brilliantly unique kids (the hardest work I’ve ever done) and really bad puns.

My life’s work is building Oolie, our family business and Certified helping families sleep better with bedding and baby products. I hope you’ll check us out.

In my former career, I was into online learning, creative coding, and data visualization, even publishing a couple of books. I still love that stuff ( ), but that feels like 1M years ago.

Expect to see posts about everything mentioned above!

Big thanks to the SFBA @moderators for having me.
