Countries Compared

Objectives

• Learn some Svelte
• Try various data visualisation libraries
• Try some web-scrapping techniques

Results

• A minimalistic app that allowed to learn most basic and some advanced concepts of Svelte.
• A nice interactive map visualising country ratings through color coding, built with echarts.
  • Tried D3.js, but it looked ugly and DX wasn't good either.
• A set of web-scrappers to query static html pages.
  • HTML parsed with cheerio
  • Data persisted in MongoDB Atlas with mongoose
