A hexagonal-tiled cartogram for U.S. counties (jordanroga.com)
Mapping data isn’t just about geography - it’s about telling stories hidden in numbers. Recently, I created a cartogram that tiles all U.S. counties into a uniform grid of hexagons. This approach transforms our traditional view of the nation, offering fresh insights into population, density, and other socio-economic variables that are often obscured on conventional maps.

As a young FinTech startup (± 2yo, 10 software developper), we are considering to adopt AG Grid as our main framework to display data table in our VueJS / GraphQL webapp. The licence is pricey and the learning curve does not look quite easy. Is AG Grid really worth it?
