Reply to comment by Limenoodle_ in [OC] Visualization of energy production source per country in emojis by hcrx

Good question! This is done on a spreadsheet with a table with the energy breakdown by source per country. Then it builds the emoji table when the country changes.

Having one build emoji table per country would be way too heavy, that’s why.

You have 8 numbers (for each energy source) per country - let's say it's a 64 bit number. There is a total of 195 countries on earth.

That's a total weight of about 12.5 KB.

Didn't want to rant, interesting solution though, was fun to discover - but the load times could be better.

It’s true, it should be faster. The backend of this is a spreadsheet (so is the FE) so it’s a bunch of Vlookups together to create grid.
