US Presidents PivotViewer

An interactive pview collection viewer of US presidents. Sort, group, and filter by party, birth state, age at inauguration, date of birth, presidency order, lifespan, and more.

Layout

• data/presidents.csv — curated dataset (one row per president)
• scrape_images.py — downloads portraits from presidency.ucsb.edu into images/
• build.py — builds the portable viewer presidents.html
• presidents.html — the output; open it in any browser

Rebuild from scratch

pip install -r requirements.txt         # installs pview (from GitHub) + pandas/pillow/httpx
python scrape_images.py                 # populates images/ (skips existing)
python build.py                         # writes presidents.html

Then open presidents.html.

Notes

• Grover Cleveland (22nd & 24th) and Donald Trump (45th & 47th) each appear as a single card; their terms field records the non-consecutive terms.
• A portrait that can't be fetched falls back to a generated text card, so the viewer always builds.
