This is a cool map and there's tons of information in it. It'd be nice to see more details, like the actual numbers instead of just a top 3 counties list. Or if I pause the timeline and hover over a country it'd be neat if it listed that year's exodus.
Why do come countries brighten in some years but then dim later on?
Edit: ah I see the associated blog post has a little more info, especially about the brightness question. http://metrocosm.com/animated-immigration-map/ http://metrocosm.com/animated-immigration-map/
- mgalka 10y agoYes. It originally did allow you to hover over the countries to see more information. But combined with everything else it required too much memory and caused it to run slow on mobile browsers. Doesn't seem like removing a tooltip should make the difference, but it allowed me to simplify the map, remove jquery, and make a few other simplifications to the code. If I were to make it over again, I would use WebGL for the particles next time instead of Canvas, and performance problems wouldn't be an issue.
- bhandziuk 10y agotoo bad. Great map otherwise
