Coming to you from just north of the sea, at the bottom of Portsmouth South, a preview of a thing I have made.

It’s a resizeable interactive hexmap of UK constituencies:

- It builds upon the hexmap layout developed by Open Innovations: https://open-innovations.org/blog/2023-08-03-hexes-for-the-next-general-election
- But instead of SVG, it’s rendered from JSON using CSS grid, and each cell is a `<button>` that can open an info panel.

It’s a work in progress for something I’m collaborating on. Hopefully, more on the interface later this month.

@Silversnapples thank you. Fun to make. Will be quite excited to see it move into use for the purpose it’s made for 🤗

@urlyman 🙌 perfect timing for the up and coming May elections.
Gotta wonder if political parties might love this as a campaign strategy planner.
