JSTOR Labs announced a new project, Juncture:
Juncture is a free-to-use, open source framework for converting simple text files into an engaging visual essay. A visual essay is an interactive and responsive web page that augments a text narrative with visual elements to provide depth and context.
With Juncture you can create a single essay or build a full website consisting of multiple visual essays with navigation, site info pages, contact form, logo, and other simple customizations.
Juncture essays “are linked open data aware texts augmented with engaging and interactive components, including annotated high-resolution images, network visualizations, interactive maps and other elements.”
Juncture is free/open source and adheres to minimal computing principles. Juncture requires a free GitHub account and “an interest in visual storytelling.” Learn more to explore the project showcase and documentation.
