Description
Rognone is an automated and animated posts visualizer, to view blogs on the tv. It uses ajax to fetch latest contents from your blog, and then visualize all paragraphs, images and videos from your posts just like they were on television, or draws them on the page according to a floating spiral layout, continuously animated and updated. Main goal of Rognone is to let you sit on your coach and watch your blog contents on your tv (if your tv is internet connected, of course). See changelog for newest features. It’s an ongoing project, we need feedback from desktop and smartphone users: please write us in Support section. See it in action on this site (the slideshow on top of page is Rognone, clic on top right lens to view full features): https://calepiopress.it/?rognone
To see Rognone handling a post with lot of videos, see this demo: https://calepiopress.it/?rognone&c=13&p=770
