About: This is my final group project for my interactive cartography and geovisualization course. We worked in a group of three over one month and were allowed to create any interactive map we wanted. This map allows you to choose a number of things that matter in your life, choose how important each one is, and then see which of the 50 largest cities in the US is best according to your selections. The data comes from many sources that ranked cities from across the US on their liveability according to the specified attribute.
Process: We used GitHub to set milestones, track bugs and enhancements, and manage the overall project. I served as project manager and was responsible for building the attribute panel, the city panel, and creating the scoring algorithm. I mainly used D3 for the build, but also used jQuery when certain HTML elements could not be accessed properly by D3 selections. Static styling was done in CSS and dynamic styling was done in JavaScript.
