Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Have you ever seen a scrollytelling article and wanted to do something similar, but found it all too complicated? Yes and yes?! This session is for you. You will learn the basics of Svelte, and how to combine it with no-code services like Flourish. The aim is to produce interactive long-form articles that use scrollytelling techniques to tell a compelling story. Bring along a dataset, your creativity, and ideas, and you will leave this session with a template to be used whenever you want to publish something that uses the power of scrolling to tell a story. Some prior experience in web development and with Flourish is recommended, and some knowledge of web development technologies. All the necessary software will be pre-installed on the school computers. If you are bringing your own laptop you will need to install Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/download), a web browser, and a code editor.
