What's the tech stack? How did you create the website and the data here?
We made the website using mkdocs material as it started off as a simple documentation static website (still partly is). So this is mostly markdown, css, and some html. But then I had originally made an interactive basic map using html and js, which I then transformed into what it currently is. Since the initiative is no longer actively funded (for now), the big overhaul of the page was done in my free time and to make big changes fast I had to use claude code quite a lot (it mostly used js and html)(prompts were very detailed, with a specific style of code given).
Tiles from esri, map leaflet, and the data is from OpenStreetMap. The power lines were extracted on may 9th using Overpass. We tried to use as many existing (open-source if possible) tools to not reinvent the wheel. Tool layers are a mix of geojsons, and the osmose api. Analytics are umami (open-source). Some statistics in the website come from ohsome.
Country and region layers are from this one geojson I found in a github repo (then condensed and edited by me), and regions are from GADM or openstreetmap boundaries.
