Suggestions for Future Improvements
- Efficient Data Processing: For very large datasets, consider using
pyarrowas the engine forpd.read_excelif applicable, or migrating internal data processing toPolarsfor faster aggregations in views likeMetricandMap. - Selective Loading: The API currently fetches all fields. Implementing field selection in the UI could reduce payload size and memory usage.
st.status: Replace somest.spinnerblocks withst.statusfor the API and Archive loading processes. This allows for a more detailed, multi-step progress report (e.g., "Connecting...", "Downloading...", "Processing...").st.dataframeColumn Configuration: Use thecolumn_configAPI in the Table View to add progress bars for impact metrics or interactive links for Disaster Numbers directly within the data table.st.fragment: Wrap individual visualization components (like the Map or Time charts) in fragments. This would allow users to change visualization settings (e.g., color scales) without rerunning the entire page logic, significantly improving responsiveness.- Custom Theming with
st.logo: You are already usingst.logo, but you could further leverage the dynamic sidebar withst.sidebar.containerandst.popoverfor advanced filter settings to declutter the sidebar.
- Comparison Mode: Allow users to load two datasets (e.g., Archive vs. Recent File) and display side-by-side comparisons in the Metric and Time views.
- Automated Reporting: Use
st.download_buttonto export the currently filtered view as a PDF or specialized Excel report. - Persistent Settings: Implement
st.query_paramsto allow users to share specific filtered views (region, year range, etc.) via the URL.
