Newsmosaic is an experiment in immersive newsfeed interface. Where many newsfeeds present their users with article snippets to browse by scrolling down, this experiments with fitting more articles on a single page to browse.
Some stuff to still explore:
-
see "scatter/gather clustering", a topic in document browsing. I suppose this would be a kind of visual, manual scatter/gather clustering.
-
To run, install python dependencies... (list not finalized)
-
Data to populate frontend is stored in data.json for now. Will eeventually migrate to hosted db.
-
Changes since hiatus: keyword extraction with Tagger. Bad things that have happened since Tagger: realized that flashing keywords might not be practical for multiword keywords... imagined changes to view to come.
