mapzy VS owid-grapher

I haven an open-source app (it's a store finder) that also uses Docker and Redis. Have a look at the GitHub repo, maybe there's something to help you there in my setup?

Mapzy is a store finder, and like Fugu it focuses on simplicity. Again, I've created it because the store finders out there were either ugly, too complex and/or expensive, and not privacy-focused. Read more on mapzy.io

If you're interested in the code, have a look at location_imports_controller.rb, location_import.rb, and batch_geocode_worker.rb.

I contribute to Our World In Data [0] and some of the Rails repos. I also run my own open source projects [1][2].

I've just recently started doing it, and I only put in a few hours each week. Slow and steady wins the race. My motivation is three-fold: First, it's gratifying to give something back to software I love using for free. Second, I learn a lot. Third, if I ever want to work with one of the companies who are stewarding these repos, it gives me a leg up in the application process.

I've been trying out Jekyll for a new side project's static website and of course added my favorite CSS framework, Tailwind, into the mix. However, after adding Tailwind with PostCSS I began to see very slow build times. Generating the site went from less than a second to more than 30 seconds. Waiting this long to see every change you do makes working with Jekyll impossible.

Let’s begin with a data visualization-friendly resource.

Here's a dashboard: https://ourworldindata.org/

Pick almost anything to see a positive trend.

I think the idea of Framework is really good, but static data limits the applications, excluding monitoring and other cases in which the data is constantly changing, but the dashboard can stay as it is. For example, I'd love to see a revamped Framework version of the LHC beam monitor and related pages (see https://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/vistar/, but check again in 2 months or so, when the accelerator will be running).

In high-energy physics, ROOT is /the/ toolkit for data analysis, and I guess jsROOT (https://root.cern.ch/js/) could also be used to load data to be shown in Framework dashboards. I thought the idea of Framework as a blogging engine with powerful data visualization built-in could be very interesting. Think, for example, about physicists pulling open data (https://opendata.cern.ch) and writing about their analysis or someone pulling data from https://ourworldindata.org/ in their own visualizations to support their case while writing about a particular subject, etc.

This is patently false. Visit ourworldindata.org and look at the data for the past few hundred years. 17th-century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes famously wrote the "the life of man [is] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short," which was largely accurate in the 17th century. Today, the poorest people in developed nations enjoy a standard of living that royalty of Hobbes time would have envied. And while the percentage of humanity living in extreme poverty increased from 8.5% to just above 9% in 2022, overall it's down from 80% in the year 1800. We have made similar strides in the areas of education and healthcare.

If your statement were true, we wouldn't be living in a world where every measure of human well being only goes up.

I don't have any ideas, but I'm just sharing this in case you're not aware https://ourworldindata.org/

Not according to Worldometers.info, nor by ourworldindata.org or worldpopulationreview.com. Wikipedia gives India a slight edge.

The data comes from ourworldindata.org and from the OECD website. Pretty simple !
