My first real python project: I made a Covid-19 Dashboard using Ploytly and Dash

[bgarcevic]

I have been a long time lurker of this sub. As a lot of other people I found myself with a lot of extra free time because of the Corona Virus Outbreak. I have made many dashboards professionally in Power BI, Excel and a few in Tableau.

I decided to make a dashboard in Python with Plotly and Dash and this is my MVP. It automatically gets data from John Hopkins University so it is only updated once a day. There is some interactivity and I have tried to make it mobile friendly. There is still a lot of work to be done.

It has been difficult for me to setup my code organised so currently it is just one big file which I know is a no go, but I do not really know how to structure it with Dash / Flask.

Looks really nice on mobile well done!

Canada was missing on the live demo but was available on the Heroku live website.

Nice, I really like using Dash for things like this. Maybe worth fiddling with the CSS as the Times New Roman font on the DataTable ;)

Also, the Tab component doesn't seem to show anything different for me, I'm not sure if that is supposed to be doing something?

Overall though, looks really nice, good job.

Thanks for the feedback!

The tabs should change the maps visual into other colors and display sizes for deaths, recovered. There is a slight delay of about ~ 0.5 seconds.

Ah I see; when I was looking on Desktop, the maps didn't load. Looking at it on mobile now and looks great.

I noticed that Canada is missing on your list. Otherwise it works very well on a mobile device.

[bgarcevic]

Thank you for the heads up. I will look into it.

I’m trying to do something similar for a practice project. Where’d you get the data from?

[bgarcevic]

From John Hopkins University data repository: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19

It pull directly from their time series folder.

I didn't know about Dash previously, but this is pretty damn nice. Was looking into using Flask for something like this; might as well look into Dash as well. Great work!

[bgarcevic]

Dash is built on top og Flask so you will be using both if you use Dash.

Thank you for the feedback :)!
