Thank you for making a pinned post, I'll use the opportunity to make two calls:
(The other thread was at the end of it's lifecycle already)
If there's (economic) data you'd like to see feel free to reach out. I at the very least will add linking, but will also make an effort for deeper integration at some point.
Example:
e.g. Xinjiang, China , Eastern Asia , Asia, CN, CHN (in that exact wording; the Atlas works by using the lemmy search function to find these strings, by having it in the comment body you make them findable)
We as a community could for example also decide to use the ISO3166-alpha 3 for one type of news/post and the full nomeclature of the country/region for another type (not sure if need actually, it's just a thought/suggestion, but maybe someone has a cool/good suggestion)
Thank you :)
Comrade @Parsani@hexbear.net suggested to add more economic data and I was able to (at least link) to various data sources. I will look for deeper integration another time: You will find these in the Nexus > Misc Tab
World Inequality Database
UN Comtrade
International Labour Organization
International Energy Agency
World Bank
OECD
Feel free to propose more suggestions (I probably repost this call in the next newsmega as mondays ususallly seem to be the days these threads get reset)
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
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 )
