Country/Language options

Open SimplicissimusFr opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I am discovering your implementation of Newsmap. THANK YOU ! How I missed the old one !

As a user of Marcos' site, I appreciate the global overview, so would it be possible to choose more than one country/language option (with checkboxes ?) I know resu.lts can quickly become overcrowded, but it could be manageable filtering on category or/and time).

Thank you again !

I've added the ability to select multiple News Editions.

Let me know how you get on with it.

Great! And thank you (again!) for your reactivity.

Clearly, it gets overcrowded… So, 2 ideas:

  • visualise the different countries/languages (using colours seems difficult as the hue dimension is already taken by category, maybe just outlining the borders)

  • use (like in Marcos' vintage version) a group of tabs at the upper side of the window. Maybe with a two levels system: • the list in the options window to select (up to 7, 10, ?) items in the big list (80 items), • present them in the upper tabs with a checkbox to activate the country/language

This would be a dream! Configurable regionally.

Anyway, resurrecting Newsmap is a great achievement and your current version is just GREAT!
