Ask HN: What libraries should I learn to build something like this? (opens in new tab)

As far as technology goes, the NYT site is built on the Foundation framework. The interactive graphics are based on D3.js. There'll be a bunch of data analysis, database skills, design, HTML, CSS, JS, etc in there as well.

But... if you want to build something similar, learn team skills. A site like that isn't built by an individual.

Ignorance 1.0 for work-groups.

Yes, I am being cynical - but I cannot extract any information from the "article" because on my FF on OSX any attempt at scrolling leads to seemingly random stuff changing without any option left for me to read it sequentially.

A great example of "less would have been more".
