I personally don't agree with most of the things the article says and that's exactly why I shared it on Hacker News. I was hoping that some smart people with good insights on the topic could respond with rebuttals and I could learn from them. But I guess even on Hacker News people are intolerant towards ideas that they don't "like."

This is a fair point. I wish there was a way to get a visitor's IP without the need to call a server.
That being said, my website is already served through Cloudflare, and this is an endpoint Cloudflare provides for debugging purposes.
I think this is ethically safe, but legally it probably is not. I definitely agree.

I made a web app that visualizes the COVID-19 data: https://covid19.evrim.io

If you are interested in seeing the source code, the app is open source: https://github.com/evrimfeyyaz/covid-19-in-charts
I have also separated the part that fetches and formats the data into a library that you can use: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@evrimfeyyaz/covid-19-api

Thanks for the kind words!
> Just noticed - UK recoveries data looks incomplete. which data source are you using?is it not present in your data source or govt not providing it to public?
The data is from the Johns Hopkins University CSSE. Apparently the UK government does not share recoveries data. There are other places that lacks recoveries data, so I decided to add a small popover that explains it to the user. If you go to the website now, and change the location to the UK, under "Recoveries" it says "No Data," and hovering over the "Why?" below it shows an explanation.
> Just to add, at the beginning under "Latest cases" section adding 'Active Cases' count along with other 3 counts(Confirmed , Deaths, Recoveries) will give better idea on current status of the country.
I have now added the active cases information. But it's not shown in a card like the other three (it looks too crowded with four cards).
> is it possible to add another geographical graph showing top 5/10 countries with color codes? I used filter to check whichever country data I want to see. I would also like to know which countries have highest cases and maybe compare two countries graph?
I actually included a location comparison page at first, but then decided to remove it. Comparing locations didn't seem too reliable to me for two reasons:
1. The quality of the data between locations vary. 2. As all the values are total values for a given location, naturally places with bigger populations tend to have bigger numbers. To counteract this, I needed to also calculate per capita values, which would add some extra work, and I wasn't sure if people really wanted to see it.
If there is enough people interested, I might add that. Also, the whole thing is open source, here is the source: https://github.com/evrimfeyyaz/covid-19-in-charts. If you are interested in adding anything, you're more than welcome.
Thanks a lot for all your feedback, I really appreciate it. I added a few new things based on what you said.
