    Thanks for that useful feedback. I have to admit I probably haven't paid as much attention to the embed option as I should have. I'll take another look at it. Cheers

    Thanks again for that feedback. Yeah, with stuff like the 7 wonders of the world I think you're right in that it's well covered in other ways. I guess I was thinking more along the…

    Thanks! I'm hoping that non-profits put their data on the site and share the link (or embed the animation into their own sites) so that they can increase awareness on important iss…

    Ok, thanks for that. I just noticed that it stopped working for me as well. The server was complaining about having too many open files. I've just restarted it so hopefully it will…

    Thanks for the feedback. There is already the ability to embed maps into other pages. However if you didn't find it that probably says something about the design of the site. There…

    I have put some effort into mobile, but I have to admit I've struggled to get it to work well. The larger screens and use of a mouse means it works much better on laptop/desktops. …

    Thanks! I'm the same. Having something represented the right way visually can make a huge difference. The education sector is definitely one of my targets so it's great to get that…

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I would love to be able to show the actual boundaries changing over time. I've thought of a way to do that but don't have the data, but I think it would…

    Thanks! Yeah, I was keen to start getting some feedback sooner rather than later and I thought this was the perfect forum for it. I figured if it looked like no one was going to sh…

    There seems to be a lot of feedback on updating the design. Perhaps I should move that up the priority list!

    Yes, there is already a log scale in there but it's a bit hidden. You can click the 'Options' in the 'How' section and change the scale. I've also thought about a per capita option…

    Yeah, one of my future plans is to setup an API so real-time data could be entered into the site. I also want to make changes so that point data can be added in (i.e. lat/lon) so t…

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm the first to admit I'm not a front end designer. I've started talking to someone about updating the design but nothing is locked in yet so if you can recommend an…

    Thanks for the feedback. You're right there are some good open source libraries out there. Part of the reason I created this site is so that someone with no programming experience …

    Thanks! I've noticed that there are a lot of data sets out there on the web, but there are not many that explain why the data behaves the way it does. Adding events to data was a b…

    Hi, thanks for your question. It kind of is. I would like to get to the point where I could change the maps over time to accurately represent things. However, there is some limited…
