# PortalJS Demo replicating the FiveThirtyEight data portal

## 👉 https://fivethirtyeight.portaljs.org 👈

Here's a blog post we wrote about it: https://www.datopian.com/blog/fivethirtyeight-replica

This is a replica of the awesome data.fivethirtyeight.com using PortalJS.

You might be asking why we did that, there are three main reasons:

- The website has a great UI, with multiple datasets being displayed elegantly and with simplicity.
- PortalJS allows us to add more functionality to it e.g dataset previews and search functionality.
- The project follows our same principles of open sourcing and free data, with every dataset being publicly available on Github.

## Getting Started

First, run the development server:

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.ts`.

The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.

This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
