Map coloring book
Explore Minnesota Census data as an interactive coloring book. U-Spatial Mapping Prize Honorable Mention: Most Provocative/Transformative.
During the early part of the COVID pandemic, adult coloring books suddenly became popular. For many people, it was a way to focus on something non-horrible while the rest of the world seemed to be falling apart. Some of these were color-by-number apps where you would choose a color and the app would highlight all the areas that should be that color.
That seemed like a model that would be interesting to use to explore data on a choropleth map. Pick the color of a class break, then see all the regions that belong to that class.
From this project, I learned that if you're manually manipulating svg, you're probably doing it wrong.
I used to manually FTP updates to this app to the hosting server. Like several other projects, I have configured a GitHub Action to automatically publish any changes to a custom domain hosted by CloudFlare.
