trendEcon dashboard

Source of www.trendecon.org, the public dashboard for the trendEcon economic indicators. GitHub Pages serves the docs/ folder.

The indicators themselves are built by the trendecon R package and published daily to the trendecon/data repository; this repository only visualises them.

Layout

• docs/index.html — the current site, a flexdashboard rendered from docs/index.Rmd by .github/workflows/render.yml (daily).
• site/ — a modern VitePress rewrite (Vue + ECharts) that fetches the published CSVs at runtime. It builds into docs/next/ and is previewed at www.trendecon.org/next/.

Build the VitePress site

cd site
npm install
npm run dev      # local preview
npm run build    # writes the static site into ../docs/next
