Specify the handles you want as part of the URL fragment: 24 | 25 | ``` 26 | https://vilimpoc.org/research/TwitGrid/#columns=8;users=vilimpoc,checklyhq,dspillere,gusso,GreatDismal,tim_nolet,mihriminaz,FaberCastell;users_sorted=BVG_Kampagne,fryuppolice,KoreanTravel,thingiverse,NI_News,steak_umm,ConanOBrien,taylorswift13 27 | ``` 28 | 29 | This is bookmarkable. 30 | 31 | 2. Done. 32 | 33 | Local Hard-Coded Version 34 | 35 | 1. Save a copy of [`twitgrid.html`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuket/TwitGrid/master/twitgrid.html) anywhere. 36 | 37 | 2. Edit the lists of Twitter handles you want to see: 38 | 39 | ``` 40 | const handlesTopInterests = 'vilimpoc checklyhq dspillere GreatDismal tim_nolet'; 41 | const handlesFunStuff = 'BVG_Kampagne fryuppolice KoreanTravel thingiverse NI_News steak_umm ConanOBrien taylorswift13 jimmykimmel'; 42 | ``` 43 | 44 | 3. Call the `render()` method, with optional alphabetical sorting: 45 | 46 | ``` 47 | render(handlesTopInterests); 48 | render(handlesFunStuff, true); 49 | ``` 50 | 51 | 4. Reload the page and enjoy. 52 | 53 | ## Page Navigation 54 | 55 | **On Desktops** 56 | 57 | *Page Up / Down* will smooth scroll the whole viewport, snapping to the next set of feeds. 58 | *Mouse Wheel Up / Down* scrolls the individual user feeds. 59 | *Home / End* scrolls to the top / bottom, as expected. 60 | 61 | **On Mobile** 62 | 63 | Tap the navigation buttons to flip pages, or drag individual feeds. 64 | 65 | ## Live Demo 66 | 67 | See a [demo here](https://vilimpoc.org/research/TwitGrid/#columns=8;users=vilimpoc,checklyhq,dspillere,gusso,GreatDismal,tim_nolet;users_sorted=BVG_Kampagne,fryuppolice,KoreanTravel,thingiverse,NI_News,steak_umm,ConanOBrien,taylorswift13,jimmykimmel) (this link leaves GitHub). 68 | 69 | ## Video Explainer 70 | 71 | [](https://youtu.be/S8JrmXg0BNo) 72 | 73 | ## Technology 74 | 75 | It's a single page with inlined SVGs, no dependencies, pure ES6 Javascript. Not 76 | even `lodash`. 77 | 78 | ## Styling: Changing the Column Count 79 | 80 | Edit this: 81 | 82 | ``` 83 | .twit { flex: 0 0 20%; } 84 | ``` 85 | 86 | And this: 87 | 88 | ``` 89 | // Change this to suit the width of your monitor. 90 | const columnCount = 5; 91 | ``` 92 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /paging-arrow-down.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 75 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /paging-arrow-up.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 75 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /twitgrid-icon-32.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuket/TwitGrid/17a9a97db5c133c2c91c0c9802560728a557a0b6/twitgrid-icon-32.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /twitgrid-icon-512.png: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuket/TwitGrid/17a9a97db5c133c2c91c0c9802560728a557a0b6/twitgrid-icon-512.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /twitgrid-icon.svg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1244 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /twitgrid.apng: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuket/TwitGrid/17a9a97db5c133c2c91c0c9802560728a557a0b6/twitgrid.apng -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /twitgrid.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 |
