Show HN: Hollow, an interactive documentary

You know.. There is a reason people despise IE, and one of those reason is "Must be viewed in IE."

This isn't a web page, it's a chrome app, go put it on the chrome store.

If anyone here is interested in interactive documentaries, you should check out Clouds when it comes out:

It's a documentary on generative art and that is also an executable. Basically several artist coders got together to put together a documentary on their craft and the art of each will be showcased as a layer on top of the documentary that you can play/interact with while the artist is discussing its creation and whatnot.

In my opinion this would have been better as a movie. The only interactivity was scrolling down the page to control the speed of the montage. I think the strength of a Document vs a conventional documentary/montage thing is that you can introduce a lot more information in a format that isn't strictly linear. This was linear and oftentimes too busy in with the transitions. Also, the choppy speed of my mouse scrolling vs. a smooth constant speed montage actually makes it feel more busy during big transitions.

The tech is cool, but this instance of it isn't really doing it for me.

I don't use Chrome. When you can get it working for more browsers will happily take a look.

Well made, but you really have got to fix the slow scrolling. I would have to have my midfinger amputated if I were to scroll all the way to the end.

Slick presentation though.

Love the content, but my hand can't take it.
