Narrative Scrollytelling

Turn an ordered method, argument, or timeline into a scroll story that remains a complete readable document.

What should the reader understand at each beat?

Make

A narrow job with a visible boundary

Use it when sequence matters and scrolling can reveal relationships without becoming a slide deck or hijacking input.

Input

An ordered set of claims, stable section IDs, and the fallback reading order.

Outputs

  • A validated story map
  • Native-scroll transition guidance
  • Reduced-motion and no-JavaScript fallbacks

Boundary

Scroll position may alter presentation, never the existence or meaning of essential content.

Keep every chapter in document order. A sticky visual reflects the active chapter; anchors and prose remain usable without JavaScript.

The story survives when choreography disappears.

  1. Slide deck on a page

    Pin the viewport and replace each slide as the user scrolls.

    Keep every chapter in document order. A sticky visual reflects the active chapter; anchors and prose remain usable without JavaScript.

  2. Motion dependency

    The diagram only makes sense halfway through the animation.

    Write the relationship in the chapter text and use discrete states under reduced motion. Intermediate animation is supplementary.
