It's html, a lot of fancy CSS transforms, and jquery/js.
The headlines are currently stored in just a static json file with urls I picked out.
I found it surprising that it's actually easier to get quality "real" headlines (fark, onionlike.tumblr.com/) than believable onion articles.
The next challenge is having the headlines stay up to date.
We're currently planning on seeding the database using the onion rss feed. The problem is filtering out the headlines which are too obvious.
Any ideas?
Next feature ideas would be interesting
