The scrollytellr app makes it easy to create scrolly telling webpages through a shiny graphical user interface
This tutorial will show you how to use the app to create a create scrolly telling webpage
To start, you can create stickies in the “Add stickies” tab
In particular, you give the sticky a name
Specify the type of sticky (text, image, or R code)
And add the sticky content, which in this example is the text of the Shelley poem Ozymandias
Next we can add narrations in the “Add Narration” tab
We select the sticky we want to add a narration to
We then add the narration text
We can also add narration options
For example, we can add the option to highlight a line of text
We can also set the appearance in the “Set Appearance” tab
We can view the quarto document in the “Quarto Document” tab
And we can view the full scrolly telling webpage output in the “HTML output” tab
When we view HTML output we can see the whole generated webpage
Finally we can use the “Downloads” menu, to download the Quarto Closeread document (in case we want to edit it further manually), and download the html webpage from this meu as well.
We hope you find the scrollytellr app useful!
We have already found it useful ourselves, as evidenced by the fact that we created this tutorial using the scrollytellr app :)
