Feedback on coronavirus tool I just launched
Hey IHers -
I just launched a tool to help track coronavirus numbers within 10-mile radius of a US location.
Here is the page - https://www.prospercircle.org/coronavirus-near-me
I would love your feedback on usefulness, and design.
In the past few days, I have seen people track coronavirus stats near offices, schools, church, and even grocery stores.
A lot of data in the US is state-level.
This gives a much finer lens of the data. I'm using Johns Hopkins University coronavirus geocoded data. It is updated daily.
Look forward to hearing your feedback and see how this can help people affected by coronavirus.
Thanks for putting up this meaningful project @Salil
It's quite useful actually, I think with a little design twist it can go further :)
I also put up a little project to support my region recently, keen to hear your feedback!
nice and timely and i like the main ux.
what's your biggest dream for this?
is there any more info or value you can provide? how can you relate it more to people in that area? how can this become indispensable for everyone worried at home?
Thank you @Bcbernstein. This tool is purely a personal passion project. I kept tracking case numbers for different cities. Some were to see how coronavirus is affecting the region my family lives in, some were out of curiosity.
Wanted to see how the numbers look near the university I attended, or my previous employer's office campus, etc.
I'd be happy if people find it useful. If this helps the signal to noise ratio and helps them look at numbers that directly might impact them.
Any suggestions on what else might be helpful. A few people emailed asking me to calculate and add the mortality rate for the region.
Very nice. I think there are a lot of directions you could go and they depend on what you're passionate about, which sounds like reducing the noise ratio. That's an amazing place to jump off. There are some good frameworks and questions to decide what that is for you and your users, of which I'm happy to talk more about it.
