Frontend

Click here for demo

• Click on country labels to see the country data.
• The API is hosted on a free plan on heroku, so expect a small delay on data fetch.

The project was completed as part of a submission to the Bachelor in Data Science I was studying towards at Noroff University.

It was a group collaboration and you may see all commits and documentation here on github and the backend here.

The project is by no means feature complete I will continue on it, I will add some fancy new frontend framework as well as add more data to it.
