Code-for-All / lockdown

Project Lockdown (an initiative from The IO Foundation) is a civic tech, interactive platform providing an overview of the state of Human and Digital Rights around the globe. It evaluates policies obtained from high quality sources that may impact their observance. It provides, among other tools, a layered map interface that allows for a visual representation of the policies adopted, assisting a broad range of stakeholders in understanding the global state of their Rights. This empowers them to become active agents of global change.

Problem

The project should be lightweight as possible to be accessible for as many people as possible for people from territories without a healthy internet connection (mobile low-quality 3g coverage with significant latencies).

Use other SVG + wrapper around like

I believe the svg map could be used as a lightweight solution for the widget later when the API and data geo level will be defined
