A “tilegram” is a map made of tiles

where regions are sized proportionally to a dataset.

[our blog post](http://pitchinteractive.com/latest/tilegrams-more-human-maps/)

or the [manual](MANUAL.md).

## Development

### Setup

After cloning the repository, run:

    npm i

### Running

Run

    npm start

Then access `http://localhost:8080/`.

### Deploying

To generate deployable assets, run:

    npm run build

They will be written to `dist/`.

## Dependencies

JavaScript is written in [ES2015](https://babeljs.io/docs/learn-es2015/)

using [Babel](https://babeljs.io/). Styles are written in

[SASS](http://sass-lang.com/). All assets are preprocessed with

[webpack](https://webpack.github.io/).

The Maker also depends on a pre-release `npm` version of `topogram`

(formerly `cartogram.js`) as seen in

[this PR](https://github.com/shawnbot/topogram/pull/26).
