Thank you for your suggestion, I pushed an update just now. But I noticed that it only works locally and not on hex-atlas.netlify.app. I'll be able to debug later this week
It's probably because I manually edited Israel to be Palestine and it screwed with the file 😅 Thank you for reporting it I'll be able to fix it later this week. Feel free to add issues to https://github.com/hexatlas/lemmy-atlas/ if you find more
I ended up making it public :)
It's not my first project, but the first one that I ended up making open source. I've been mostly coding for fun on front-end personal projects. Software Engineering is such a big field, that all I know is that I don't know enough probably never will
PSA: If you want to make the Atlas even more useful, make sure to add the name of the country, province, continent, etc. into the comment body when sharing news. This way the comment shows up on it

Thank you for your offer! Let me know if you need help setting it up
Right now I only managed to add IMF data as a proof of concept (There's a bunch of indicators to choose from). There's a lot more datasets that I would like to be able to see on there and the ability to compare countries/regions. Ideally we could visualize capital and commodity flows between two selections
After some consideration I decided to make the code public under the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE ( AGPL-3.0 license )

Thank you for your input:
Copy paste from another comment:
You can either search for a place or click on it. You'll see various scopes: provinces/territories, countries, intermediate regions, sub regions, continent. You can click also on these to change the scope. What it actually does is send it as a search query into lemmy and you see the search results to it (I built a fancy search page). IN the Fediverse Tab you can select the instances, sort types, and other settings from lemmy. On the Nexus Tab you have a similar behaviour, just for the various modules. You'll see the wiki of whatevery is selected on the map :)
tldr: Attention [Pink]: Select an option [Purple] to reveal selected information [Yellow].
I gave it a quick and dirty integration in Nexus > Misc (Link it externally)
Unfortunately to have deeper integration I'd need to be able to get a json response (or do an iFrame, which I would like to avoid). It's a similar problem I was facing when looking for ways to integrate marxist.org. They use a google search plugin :(
Also it seems like there aren't that many pages in the format: http://bannedthought.net/{country}/index.htm and you often land on a 404 page :/
I was playing around with the same idea but haven't managed to make it work yet:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-markdown (what I'm currently using for markdown)
work with
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-highlight-words
I was helping myself with CTRL+F and "Highlight All" in Firefox as a workaround :)
Not at the moment. It's on netlify, but am looking for ways to move off of it. I reached out to the admin/devs also @[email protected] made an offer

Hi comrade,
I added a bunch of open data in the Nexus > Misc tab for you. Hope you find some of it useful. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to see more :)
World Inequality Database
UN Comtrade
International Labour Organization
International Energy Agency
World Bank
OECD
When I'll have more time I'll look for deeper integration
