v2.0.0-beta

This is a MVP release of a brand new version of Map in Color (MIC) v2.0.0-beta, a tool for creating choropleth maps to visualize data—whether for scientific purposes or simply to see the world from a new perspective through data.

With the new version, the application includes more complexity and a sharing platform where data can be shared between users. Instead of manually selecting and defining states from select inputs (as seen in v1), you prepare a CSV file locally with all the data for the map, ensuring simplicity.

This MVP release features:

A set of three maps (World Map, United States, and Europe) – with more to be added over time.
The ability to instantly generate data ranges with ease (either suggested or manually defined).
A sharing platform with tags for potential future data collection across diverse subjects, browsable via an explore page.
Public or private map settings for each user’s preference.
User profiles that allow personal info, stars, and comments on maps.
