Fascinating article. I also really enjoyed the presentation - the mix of writing, video and images worked well together. This is the first time I've seen the "BBC Magazine", and the experience is great.
- chdir 12y agoMore than the article, I enjoyed the presentation. The whole design is very intricately woven together with various media elements. I loved the style but at the same time I was slightly annoyed by not being in control (probably the auto changing images with scroll was slightly over the top). I wonder how's the user experience with others.
- kissickas 12y agoI had the opposite experience; usually I can't stand when a website tries to do something novel with my scrolling, but here all they did was update to a more relevant map alongside the text, for example. I was a bit too ecstatic to see that.
- onethree 12y agoon mobile (android), it was absolutely awful, every few scrolls it took over my screen and started automatically playing a video. if i wanted to watch the video in your article, i would press play, don't force it upon me
- westiseast 12y agoThe software they used (shorthand.com) says it's in private beta - I'm sure they'd appreciate feedback. Otherwise on a laptop it was fantastic.
- oska 12y agoAre you using the stock Android browser? I found it presented well on Firefox for Android. And I didn't have trouble with the videos playing automatically, something which I also hate.
- Dolimiter 12y agoI found the multimedia presentation to be over-designed, clunky, unusable nonsense.
- Doctor_Fegg 12y agoAgreed: the presentation is excellent. Very much in the tradition of the BBC's radio 'From Our Own Correspondent'. It says it was built with Shorthand - http://shorthand.com/ http://shorthand.com/ . Anyone know of an open-source equivalent?
- muyuu 12y agoI found it extremely frustrating myself.
