Easy browsing NYT Sunday paper

16 August, 2009 Posted by As Multimedia,News,WebApp (0) Comment

The New York Times is exploring the way to win more readership online with a new  prototype called article skimmer. Each section has only 1 page with simple grid format showing current articles (articles gradually fade as they get older). Clicking on the headline title will expand more details from the NYT regular pages.

There are few keyboard navigation controls:

  • Space bar takes you down a section
  • Shift-space goes up a section.
  • Arrow keys do the same. You can navigate sections by holding down the “s” key (s for section), typing the number that appears, and releasing the “s” key. Same goes for articles, but with the “a” key (a for article). If you need a reminder, just click the “?” in the upper right corner.
