Gramener's Indian Elections web app - a cool data visualization

Gramener's HTML5-based web app about the Indian Elections uses a bunch of JavaScript plugins and to pack a lot of data into an appealing visualization.

It uses Bootstrap, jQuery, d3.js, jQuery.SerialScroll. The code shows a lot of concern for Apple devices. YSlow & PageSpeed give the app an A grade for its performance.

According to a Gramener blog post, the entire Election Analytics Centre sits on a single server in Southeast Asia, hosted on Azure.  It’s a virtual machine provisioned with 4-cores and 7GB of RAM running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with nginx as the front-end proxy. All visualisations are rendered as SVG.
