Where in the world?
Where in the world? needed a country reference people could actually work through, with search by name, a region filter, and the whole thing readable in light or dark. I built the interface against a REST API I wrote for it, which puts filtering and paging on the server and leaves the interesting problem on the client: making a round-trip feel instant.
Visit Website, Where in the world?Project Background
Where in the world? is for anyone who needs to look a country up and get on with their day: population, region, capital, the countries it borders. They came with a two-theme design, a light palette and a dark one sharing the same greys and blues, and a short list of things the interface had to do. Search the whole set by name, narrow it by region, open a detail view for any country with links through to each of its neighbours, and remember which theme was chosen. I built the service behind it as well, a .NET API over the country dataset that filters and pages server-side so the client only ever holds the rows it is showing. Scope ran the full responsive range from 375 up, and every view renders on the server per request rather than as a static export. It still returns 100 in all four Lighthouse categories, mobile and desktop.
