House of the day

Hús dagsins is my very first web app — an interactive cultural map that showcases the houses featured in Arnór Bliki Hallmundsson’s beloved newspaper column.
The map uses Leaflet for mobile-friendly, open-source mapping with searchable pins, smooth zooming, and direct links to the original articles.
Version 2.0 modernized the layout for mobile devices, added marker clustering for dense urban areas, and introduced a small statistics dashboard.
This project taught me the full workflow of data scraping, geocoding, building a responsive UI, and deploying on GitHub Pages.
