I've always loved building little web apps, even with my limited coding skills. As a student and early in my career, I had a lot of time, so it didn't matter.
In recent years however, with life being busy as it is, most of my ideas stayed at the back of my mind. There simply wasn't enough time to compensate for my limited skills.
Until I started working with Cursor, that is. All of a sudden, the time needed to turn an idea into a working prototype is once again within what I'm able to carve out.
That's how this project came to be. I'm a longtime admirer of the work Gapminder and Our World in Data are doing, and I wanted to build something that lets people explore the vast amounts of data about the world Our World in Data provides – in a playful way.
Would love to hear what you think, what you'd improve, and what topics you'd like to see added next.
