Visualization project for Earthquake Hotspots based on the USGS data feed.
#Demo Magnetum Projects
#Libraries
D3 for the data visualization
TopoJSON for the worldmap visualization
jQuery for creating the Interface UI
jQuery SlimScroll for a nicer scroll bar
#Core
The core functionalities are located in the shaked.js
inside the /js
folder.
#For the Future
- improve script performance (currently the animation can render approx. 100-150 max. JSON data-entries before slowing down the browser...or crashing it)
- split
shaked.js
into separate files with similar functionalities, e.g one js file for loading the data feed, one for building the UI and so on - add TopoJSON as a git submodule for easier updates (been too git-lazy to do this...)
- automatically refresh the page after one hour
