Nice work!
The problem with zooming is that most webpages are not made for viewing from a distance. It's difficult to discern both the content and the identity of a site when zoomed out.
Maybe you could try detecting the actual content (headline or a big picture), and show just that when zoomed out (probably together with a small logo of the website).
Other than that, the section dividers we see when zoomed out all the way are neat, why don't you preserve them somehow in all zoom levels?
In terms of navigating around, I think it would be much more fun if the zoom was seamless and much more responsive, and one could scroll and zoom at the same time (much like in a QTVR movie, ideally with the same controls).
- daviding 16y agoThank you! Agreed that I need to so something when viewed further out. I have the RSS feed description/headline (as shown in that big bubble) so I could render something more abstract and cleaner in there. Base on a suggestion below I am now actually playing with a DeepZoom version, although it seems to be a dead project from Microsoft (not sure). I wanted to stay with pure script, but they do have a very nice zoomable render engine to use...
