HTML5 Timeline Reader - AP Labs (html5.labs.ap.org)

Awesome!

Looks great, really slow on the iPad though

You can't 2 finger scroll the main area. Which is a pain.

Looks bad on Safari showing an extra scroll bar in the center of the text field when continuing on to the full content. Strange.

I really think they did a fantastic job here. They made the best of the medium, too: They used a narrow column for text (which, being a news company, they write for — this is part of why newspapers often have 1-sentence paragraphs). The narrow column makes it easier to quickly read and skim. Then this frees up a lot of space for a photo, much bigger than they could afford in print. The way you can filter categories, and the colors (no b&w print here) used to identify them are really playing to the strengths of the web format, too. A+
