Setting up a Blog engine

gabrielbdornas commented 11 months ago

@danybonfil I think a blog engine could be a great tool to grow our dashboard audience. As explained here material Mkdocs provide this functionality for insiders.

We should consider this possibility.

Yes I think we can include for the audience interested in the theory behind the dashboard

@danybonfil as discussed, we'll implement the blog engine. That's why I removed the question flag out of this issue. Reading one more time the Mkdocs material insiders' documentation, it is possible to see that setting up a blog is now available without payments. This is excellent news, isn't it?

That's great! We can use it to generate interest. I think we can get some inspiration from these sites: Latinometrics has The Economist style visualizations and newsletter Data Hackers has newsletter, blog, and podcast with interesting data science content

@gabrielbdornas in addition to the previous sources, I propose we start with an section of topics based on the original paper from which we can generate interesting posts. We can write a blog entry that could be issed as the basis for the podcast content.

i would consider using the economies graph in which most people will use the "end heuristic" to say that the second graph is better because the first one has a low value in its 4th year. when actually they both have a cumulative growth of 5.88%

but why do we continue to do this? actually humans apply this end heuristic in more places than just voting. please see reference in "Healey&Lenz_2014.pdf"

the section below contains interesting examples that we can describe in the blog entry and then discuss in the podcast:
