- davidjohnstone 13y agoFrom looking at the source, there's just the regular jQuery and Underscore libraries, and a bunch of custom JS, including the jQuery Waypoints library http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/ http://imakewebthings.com/jquery-waypoints/ The animated graphics are SVGs. Mostly though, this is just a lot of hard work writing custom HTML/CSS/JS.
- madeofpalk 13y agoFrom what I've heard from The Vergecast (sister publication), they have a custom CMS that focuses heavily one building these super-custom one-off designs for 'big' articles
- girvo 13y agoYep, done in Ruby on Rails (well, at least all of The Verge and Polygon is) IIRC.
- mxfh 13y agoIt's done by updating stroke-dasharray, stroke-dashoffset. http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5649592 http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/5649592 http://jakearchibald.com/2013/animated-line-drawing-svg/ http://jakearchibald.com/2013/animated-line-drawing-svg/ But it's not that new as one would think. http://www.carto.net/svg/samples/animated_bustrack.shtml http://www.carto.net/svg/samples/animated_bustrack.shtml (2008)
