So excited! I submitted a quarto site for the closeread competition. It's a Quarto website that uses closeread (scrollytelling) and parallax effects to tell a story about bigfoot sightings data. note - it doesn't work well on mobile:(

The other top contenders were Vev (www.vev.design/scrollytelli...) and Closeread for Quarto (closeread.dev). Vev is more powerful than Shorthand but the learning curve was much steeper. Closeread is gorgeous, free, and open source, but better suited (by design) for scrollingtelling analyses of text.

i’ve been wanting to play more with quarto’s closeread recently. it’s such an interesting storytelling technique and fairly simple to get started with 👀

I made a dynamic #observable #D3.js plot with #quarto and #closeread. The plot changes when a user scrolls - d3 forces are added when the scroll triggers it. I wish I put this into my closeread submission!
