Storyteller update #2: Full-screen slideshows
In case you missed it, go back and read the first installment in the Storyteller saga.
This week we hit a major milestone with the addition of the full-screen slideshows with static images and video. This was a highly desired feature that I'm glad to be able to say that we almost entirely finished bar cross browser bug fixing and testing and the final addition of auto triggering of audio files. More on this later…

Another feature we managed to shoe-horn in is the collapsing burger menu. This little widget allows us to offer the standard navigation, search, and social media tools that you would expect from a site but can be safely stowed away to allow for an immersive reading experience.

Our next two big steps are to have a design and feature review and then to actually create a template for Newscoop.
If you're wondering what all the images of elderly computers in my previous post are all about they're from The National Museum of Computing in Bletchley Park which is one of my favourite places in the world. You can watch more about their fantastic work here.
