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:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open 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 can be accessed on 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 instead of React pages.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
