Hey Product Hunters!
William Qin and I spent the past week building this new thing called COVID Inc. Here’s the problem we had, and our solution:
🤔 Problem
When trying to stay up-to-date with the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 outbreak, it can be hard to visualize how the situation in different countries is changing over time. There are a lot of apps with super-detailed information, and graphs, but we found ourselves getting lost in the data. We wanted to build an easy-to-use interface that lets you see how the outbreak is spreading and evolving with time.
🛠 Solution
We love Plague Inc’s interface as it gives you an uncluttered, high-level view of the current outbreak status in the world. Since our school cancelled in-person classes, we had a week of free time, so we got to work on COVID Inc. With our map, you can click on different countries and see the current statistics, as well as rewind time to see the stats a week ago. We also built out a news feature that aggregates the most up-to-date news on the outbreak and displays it on a scrolling headline.
Thanks for checking our project out! Feel free to ping me on Twitter at @0k_zh if you have any questions :)
