Economic Dashboard
A static macro dashboard that visualizes the changing share of world GDP across major economies, built from World Bank data and shipped as a standalone Vite app.
A lightweight macro dashboard that turns a simple question into a public, usable artifact: how has the share of world GDP shifted over time across the largest economies?

What it does
The app fetches World Bank GDP data at build time, normalizes it into a static JSON dataset, and ships a client-side chart that can toggle between absolute GDP and each country’s share of world output.
This first version is intentionally narrow. It proves the deployment pattern for standalone Lab apps before the dashboard expands into a broader macro interface.
Stack
- Vite for the static frontend build.
- Chart.js for the visualization layer.
