Science Hack 2019 Website

Usage/Remarks

See the official website at https://science-hack-2019.herokuapp.com/ (container in sleep mode, startup might take a while ~ 20s).

Be patient with the data fetching -> no preprocessing done (using the exact edgar/odiac nc files).
Since there is no preprocessing, the memory of the current (cost free) server is not big enough for large queries.

Select a date range and press a/d to jump backwards/forwards one time step.
Press space to run the "player" = Loop through the timesteps.
