Inspiration
We wanted to see if we could generate a heatmap and render it on a site if we supplied the data, and we could! So we used that ability to make a heatmap of vacant houses to be able to better visualize the different neighborhoods of Baltimore.
What it does
It renders a heatmap of vacant houses in Baltimore.
How we built it
We have a simple HTML webpage with a Javascript portion that gets the info and renders the heatmap
Challenges we ran into
We wanted to further implement NodeJS and React frameworks but time constraints only allowed us to learn about them.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to get something hosted and working!
What we learned
We learned how to host websites on GitHub, how to use HTML and Javascript, and we started learning how to use NodeJS and other Javascript frameworks.
What's next for Vacant-House-Heatmap
Perhaps we could add information for other cities, or compare two heatmaps for different statistics in order to draw correlations about the Baltimore community. https://dendygar.github.io/Vacant-House-Heatmap/
