Live Election Coverage
As part of Der Tagesspiegel’s coverage of the 2016 local election in Berlin, I built an interactive dashboard showing live results as they came in.
Similar dashboards exist (even as “just-add-iframes” solutions by news agencies), but they’re generally slow and awful. We wanted ours to be fast and – more importantly – feel fast. Our aim was to have something that works even at the awful Edge download speeds on Berlin’s underground network, and I accomplished it by minimising data requirements and pre-rendering everything on the server.
