topojson VS anki-ultimate-geography

GitHub also supports GeoJSON and it’s topology extension TopoJSON. Creating interactive maps could not have been simpler.

My guess is that Github just recognizes and supports previewing this particular spec.

This tutorial will show you how to convert publicly available shapefiles to TopoJSON to create interactive maps with d3/d3-geo. I will show you how to do this without the use of the command line so you can get into experimenting with d3 as fast as possible. If you are interested in working with shapefiles and TopoJSON in a more advanced fashion, I suggest you take a look at Mike Bostock’s recent multipart tutorials on command-line cartography.

The next chart in the series is a simple map of the world. In this chart Curran actually uses a Topojson file, then converts it into Geojson and then plots it. I am not planning to do that as it seems complicated and also for some reason the topojson library does not play nice with Node on my computer and I was too lazy to actually debug it 😬. So instead I are going to use a simple geojson I found on D3 Graph Gallery.

For the globe spinning, I used d3 and topojson to render the world at whatever projection/rotation/etc I give it. Then, using requestAnimationFrame, every frame I slightly rotate the world. Then the "water" behind it is just a blue circle that has hidden overflow.

There is a shared Anki deck about this https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812

hello! i made a new US Presidents Deck because the ones currently uploaded on Anki didn't have all the information/ individual cards i wanted. i used the card style/code from the Ultimate Geography deck, and all the information on the cards is from here. hope you all enjoy! :D

If Anki is a life long journey, then the most important is to create good note types. Take Ultimate geography as an example. Each type of information has its own field. It makes it very easy to manage and expand the deck. You won't have the issue of recognizing cards by their shape, you won't have duplicates notes.

Use Anki. It is a flashcard program, and I believe it has some cool geography sets that also includes flags and capitals. Try this one to start out with: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2109889812.

Are you saying that you are looking for a different resource than the one used in the Ultimate Geography in the share deck?
