Tracking the impact of COVID-19 in India
The front-end website for covid19india.org, a volunteer-built COVID-19 tracker for India that displayed charts, maps, and tables of case data pulled from a public API, built entirely by community contributors.
This is the website for covid19india.org, a volunteer-built tracker that followed the spread of COVID-19 across India. The project grew out of a community effort, drawing contributions from people around the world who wanted to make pandemic data accessible to everyone.
The site is a JavaScript application that connects to a public data API at api.covid19india.org. That API provided the raw numbers on cases, recoveries, and deaths, while this repository handled the front-end: the charts, maps, and tables that turned those numbers into something a person could read and understand.
The README is minimal, covering only how to install dependencies and start the app locally. The project's main value was as a public data resource during an active health crisis, built and maintained entirely by volunteers. Anyone interested in contributing could follow the project's contribution guide on GitHub.
Where it fits
- Run the app locally to explore how a data-driven public dashboard is built and adapt it for a different dataset or country
- Study the project as a reference architecture for a JavaScript app that fetches from an external public API and renders charts and maps
- Contribute new visualizations or improvements to the open-source codebase
