Amid the pandemic's chaos, tracking COVID-19 cases became a global challenge. Join my lightning talk to uncover insights from the CoronaDataScraper project, aimed at untangling the complexity of data collection during a crisis.
Facing fragmented reporting, we engineered data scrapers for every US county website. Explore varying design approaches used by counties and our strategies in response.
While the project gained traction, a key realization emerged: holistic design extends beyond visuals. This talk highlights how embracing comprehensive design – including information and API design – is vital to crafting resilient tools. From pandemic data to banking records and screen readers, holistic design is the compass for navigating uncertainty.
We will unearth the CoronaDataScraper project's journey, glean insights from data turmoil, and harness the power of holistic design in a rapidly changing world.
