How much time you spent to do this project. And for what reason you did it? To solve some personal problem?
I really enjoyed it, mostly the world map. Once I was thinking in something similar, I was thinking in create a terminal software to monitor my small portfolio of stocks, and tell me about opportunities on the market. The reason to be on terminal was because I was looking for a more discreet interface running locally.
- yaronn01 12y agoIt took me a few weeks, one of them was fully on this project. Most of the time was spent on investigating and improving the different canvas implementations (map and charts work on an html5 canvas abstraction). A lot of the time was spent on false directions but this is expected. One particular direction was reusing Web js libs to do the charting logic but it turned that it is easy enough to implement on my own. In my day job I author web dashboards (working in HP on performance testing tools) so I thought it would be cool to have those dashboards directly in the terminal. But I would have done it even without this incentive. I do a lot of projects just because they inspire me, check out GifW00t! https://github.com/yaronn/GifW00t https://github.com/yaronn/GifW00t
