Covid Safety by State

While it is possible to find graphs and tables online, there are often small and are hard to read, it is much easier to understand than the numbers represented through colors rather than small graphs!

Inspiration

My inspiration for this project was a PDF I had fount that was a report of how each state was handling Covid-19.

What it does

This project simply displays the overall, and category specific rankings of how each state handled Covid-19 through easy-to-understand colors and visuals.

How I built it

I built this project using HTML and CSS, and I used Excel to extract and organize data from the PDF.

Challenges I ran into

My main challenges in this hackathon were missing imports, and time. I spent too much time trying to fix missing imports on a different project in the beginning, and when I finally realized I couldn't make it happen in the timeframe, I had already spent hours on it. Another challenge is that I am quite new to anything web related, so this project got the best of me time and time again. Despite all of this I tried my best to use my time to learn as much as I could rather than try to be the best at what I was doing.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Something I am proud of, although it's not really programming, was learning to use Excel to my advantage creating strings of code that would have otherwise taken much longer. For the grid I needed the information in a string of code that I was able to generate with the spreadsheet rather than have to type it all by hand!

What's next for Covid Safety by State

Up next for this project I most likely the addition of more information as well as some more interactive elements of the site. I would love to eventually learn JavaScript!
