Our goal is to reinvent the article online.
One thing that really needs to change is that figures need to come to life. While there are a few ways too accomplish this, one is by using javascript libraries such as d3.js to render dynamic images.
As an example of things to come, have a look at: https://www.authorea.com/522 https://www.authorea.com/522
Does not work in Firefox at the moment.
- jimmaswell 14y agoIf it doesn't work in Firefox you're probably not following standards. Why?
- natejenkins 14y agoIt uses the sandbox feature for an iframe in html5. It doesn't seem to be supported yet in Firefox. Although if it is I'm sure someone will correct me.

- astrobiased 14y ago[Authorea consultant here] This feature is quite exciting. Using JS based plotting capabilities like D3.js will allow users to do two things at once. (1) Provide dynamic figures to represent data that is normally ineffective in static form and (2) provide the code and data that was used to create it. This helps others reproduce the results from the data to figure form, which is a feature that is definitely missing in PDF publications.
