The front end code in ./web could use some improving.
It's written in flask and uses bootstrap templates but is not very sophisticate. Front end developers this is your time to shine!
A few possible areas for improvement:
Only two pages. A separate "about" page would be nice. Or a blog. Something to give information about the project, how it relates to data for democracy, some guide for how people can contribute etc
For data visualization folks, there is a lot of opportunity to display the collected predictions in interesting and novel ways. Go nuts! The plots are currently doing an okay job, but it doesn't have to stop there.
Makeover. While the site looks pretty cool, it's quite basic and fancier designs are welcome.
Most of the areas for improvement are contained in ./docker/web/app.py but also .docker/web/static/ where the html and css are stored. The data is stored in mongo which starts up with docker-compose up. For those wanting to do data visualization, run the website a few news sites first to get
Tasks
[ ] Add an about or blog page
[ ] Find new ways to visualize the data. This could be interactive D3 plots, new charts, comparing different websites etc. Get creative!
[ ] Any other improvements to design or presentation.
