Created a multi-county COVID check site

Contributed to open source

I recently had a need to collect CDC Community Level data for multiple counties at once, so I poked around how the CDC Website does it, and learned about their open data APIs.


Using some of their documentation, and leveraging GitHub Copilot to help me along with autocomplete-style work, I was able to put together a relatively simple site that loads data from the user's browser every invocation.


I'm no HTML/JS/CSS expert, but having an inclination of what I was trying to do, and leaning on a lot of Google-searchable approaches let me solve this in a manner of hours to get a working solution, with no cost to me other than using an existing domain name I already own.


The site is meant to change colors when the levels change, but 🤞 they don't!
