Can I go a little off-topic and comment how really well done this webpage is?
Very mobile optimized and nice the “scroll to discover” kind of behavior.
Haven’t noticed how long NYT has been doing this kind of stuff but very well done.
This article has "interactive" in the URL. Note sure, but I think this is some special articles they do with a focus on just that? I believe there have been some other examples posted here previously, like this one: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/07/03/upshot/a-quic...
I'm not trying to say "you're right, I'm wrong", or the opposite: different strokes and all that. I found your excitement about the design quite interesting.
