CoronaTracker - Latest news & updates on 2019-nCoV by hundreds of volunteer professionals

[thedog1]

I joined a volunteer community comprised of medical experts, data scientists, IT professionals etc, working on developing platform to curate trusted information on recent 2019-nCoV outbreak.

You can visit https://www.coronatracker.com to get informed with the latest updates on nCoV.

This side project is quite an insane experience for me, hacking an app from scratch as a self-learn programmer. Let me know if you have any suggestion/comment on my work!

@thedog1 You should add real-time stats and graph

 

[thedog1]

@keru Sure, will explore how to present those nicely!

@keru got wuflu.live for that

@thedog1 I like it. News aggregator is a great feature.

I think you should expand the regions beyond Malaysia, as this has already hit the individual provinces of China, and is likely to hit other countries in SE asia, and other provinces in India much harder.

@jedo Sure, I believe the team is working hard on it. Thanks for the suggestion!

@thedog1 I created a Hacker news clone that tracks latest updates abut corona virus. Today I also added a little stats page.

 

[thedog1]

@ankur1406 So cool!

@thedog1 you did really well and we love the clean interface, keep it up!

 

[thedog1]

@cart Thank you

@thedog1 That looks really interesting, and I like the dashboard with all the statistics. Is there an API for this? This could power a lot of data visualizations.

 

[thedog1]

@brewdaddy The team of data scientists/engineers used Google Data Studio for the analytics dashboard.

@thedog1 How did you find the group to volunteers? I would love to do something similar

@ifbmommy I bump into it in a Facebook group.

@thedog1 Added to this list of coronavirus applications built for the 2019-nCov epidemic! Thank you for your hard work.

@thedog1 UK removed from App... Also no longer showing on App store... What are they hiding?

@garricko I feel that Google play and Apple store are heavily censoring any coronavirus related apps from their marketplaces in an effort to curb disinformation. This is regrettable though since the project is a legit effort by global volunteers. Hope it gets back on the app stores soon.
