newsola - top news stories at a glance

In plain words

Newsola displays top news stories from around the world using a treemap visualization that pulls data from Google News. Users can select topics from a menu to customize their news feed, click to zoom in and out, and long-click to focus on individual topics. The tool is designed for people who want a visual overview of global news at a glance rather than traditional list-based news formats.

  Favicon alert bubbles▲271

  A javascript library that allows easy manipulation of the favicon to include nice looking alert bubbles. This means that users can pin your site and still see when their attention is needed! It's been done before, but in my opinion not in a way aesthetically pleasing enough for production use. This library also falls back to the standard number in page title approach for browsers that do no support canvas / dynamic favicons. Thoughts welcome.
