[user info] Integrate aggregated map and User / Month Data

[mmcky]

The assets will be built in

https://github.com/QuantEcon/website-dynamic

but we can

• copy the map and figure (built using plotly) to website/gh-pages branch, or
• website can fetch the data from website-dynamic hosted via gh-pages on quantecon.github.io/website-dynamic/

[DrDrij]

Render the cool Plotly.js analytics data on quantecon.org
- Load Plotly via a <script> tag from the official CDN
- Fetch map_data.json and month_data.json as hosted file from 'website-dynamic' site
- Render using data
- No iframes, rendered directly in the page DOM, allowing custom style or positioning

The data is made available as JSON files on website-dynamic https://github.com/QuantEcon/website-dynamic/commit/0ed87a5a752babf74d361fa64fa812fe6fb5aa6a

@mmcky Can we make website-dynamic public to access the JSON? Alternative might be to use rsync and push them to the websites-repo.

I have used copycat in the past for EconARK. It’s a simple src and dtn copy between repos.

We could use this method depending on how we want to maintain ‘website-dynamic’.

Btw. Nice work @kp992 👏

Thanks @DrDrij.

It’s a simple src and dtn copy between repos.

This sounds like a good idea.

We could use this method depending on how we want to maintain ‘website-dynamic’.

I don't think so we will actively modify the repo website-dynamic once the plots are integrated. They will get auto-updated every Sunday.

@DrDrij we can push the json data file to gh-pages which is public so it should be fetch able directly which may be the easiest way to go rather than transferring assets between repos.

[mmcky]

thanks @kp992 for the ability to do a manual trigger. @DrDrij those assets are now available on the gh-pages branch and is publicly routable

Sorry guys. I've been trying to be super specific with my commit messages and inadvertently merged my branch.

The analytics dashboard is not linked from anywhere, I will style it in a new PR (or perhaps recycle this branch with styling from feedback).

Thanks @DrDrij and @mmcky,

The plots looks great to me. I got a couple of ideas/suggestions:

1. Can we include the updated date some where below the plot?
2. Shall we remove the headings Active Users by Country and Monthly Users? They look repetitive in the plot title and heading.
