THE FEEDBACK

Andrew Turner: Github Followers = 200 + 1

During development:

You can get Census boundaries by sending GeoJSON in the request? THAT’s going to save us time.

At the end of the session:

We spent most of our time on the UI because were able to easily use [this functionality] to really quickly draw a custom boundary and pull down the Census boundaries and data we need to display on our map.

It was really nice that you guys abstracted the

bringing together of geographic [boundaries] and the

Census variables. Trying to make these calls

separately and then put them together is probably

not the most efficient way of doing things... [this

way] it was easy.

Daniel ?

The examples and interactive documentation really helped

us get productive quickly. Thank you for the help.

I really like the modularity of the SDK.

With the modular architecture, in one

hour, I was successfully able to take your

code and create a module for a USDA API.

● Move examples to github.io pages

● Enforce a consistent naming convention

● More aliases ACS aliases to correct (arcGis)

● List of features (consider making a list of links with teasers, but each having it's own page with examples, tutorial, etc.) .IO Pages

● Variable search engine (still think the Search functionality would be cool here), maybe pull down the Census Reporter functionality

● Tutorials for implementing each feature / module (consider allowing users/pull requests to add feature/modules to the list of features)

● Query Builder

● Custom variable transformations, ala' F.R.E.D.

● Document the level of detail for the response objects as well as the documentation for the request objects

● D3 example (charts)

● Choropleth Mapping tutorial/example

● Make JSON response consistent across geographic levels (i.e., different levels currently are structured differently) even if it means returning empty fields

● Geocoding functionality by sending in city, state and getting back a geojson boundary

● Tutorial for pulling point data by Census Boundary
