Repo of tool (in progress) is here: https://github.com/jmeisel/acsvariableexplorer

The goal is for this to be an onboarding tool for new users. It will offer an interactive way for a user to browse curated datasets and variables by Topic. The user can then dive deeper and click on a specific variable (say"educational attainment" within ACS) of and get information on how to structure the API call, and make some sample code to use.
