The Most Epic Narrative of Ramayana on the Internet
- mehulkar 14y agoDoesn't work. It opens the narration window and that's it. Using Chromium on Mountain Lion
- codazzo 14y agoIt doesn't seem to work with fullscreen. Hope that helps.
- kephra 14y agoI wonder, why do they ask for an email to read a website? And likely tell me, that I need to install Chrome also. UX-- = <ctrl>w
- riffraff 14y agoalso doesn't accept email in the form 'foo+bar@baz.com' so I can't flag them. Really annoying.
- irahul 14y agoAsking for email for a site which doesn't need it? Instant turn-off. I persevered because I found it intriguing. I wasn't familiar with Indonesian Ramayana, and thought how could they get the names of major characters and facts wrong(Shinta is Sita here, avlenka is lanka, ayoda is ayodhya, rahwana is ravana, and so and on). But a quick trip to Wikpedia says Indonesia has its own interpretation. That said, though the concept is intriguing, I don't think html5/js/css is an appropriate medium for this type of interactive storytelling yet. Say what you will about flash, it's a far better medium for this kind of interactive storytelling.
- mamp 14y agoUnfortunately they seemed to start with the question "how can we use Chrome and Google products" rather than how can we best present the story. Understandable based on Google's funding of the project. E.g. Do you really need linking in separate windows when you could have used divs? Beautiful illustrations though.
- foomoo 14y agoTry RC4YL9. It really is super impressive.
- Harkins 14y agoThanks for posting that. (Though I really only learned how super not OK with a tiling window manager that was.)
- sigkill 14y agoI'm just chaining in case that doesn't work for some reason 9jJdYH
- johncoltrane 14y agoThank you.
- smtf 14y agoI'm not interested in signing up to check it out. No need though as there is a quick high level overview here: http://www.f-i.com/google/ramayana/ http://www.f-i.com/google/ramayana/
