Chicago's Birthday Scrollkit

Making a website is no easy feat. After all, HTML is literally another language. For people like myself who are barely proficient in hypertext markup language, there is Scrollkit.

Last week my classmates and I attended Chicago's 177th Birthday celebration at Daley Plaza. We used the Scrollkit to create a multimedia "birthday card" of sorts. You can check that out here.

We found that although there is a bit of a learning curve, Scrollkit is user friendly and yields a good looking final product that looks like a freestanding website. 

My only criticism is about the lack of an autosave function.

Working with Scroll Kit provided me with equal parts intrigue and frustration. On one hand, I was happy to work with a new medium. The layout was interesting and there were a plethora of tools aiding in the overall process. However, my group had differing opinions most of the time, and Scroll Kit didn't seem to work well with our pictures. 

I would probably use Scroll Kit again, but on my own time. --Scroll Kit is the kind of medium that requires you to sit down and tinker away until you figure out what you want. 

5/10 stars.

If you wouldn’t mind using another publication to advertise your infringement tool, we’d appreciate it.

The New York Times senior counsel Richard Samson • Offering a harsh-as-heck response to the creator of Scrollkit, a startup which allows you to visually lay out web content. Cody Brown, the creator of the app, used it to show how one can create an equivalent design to the NYT's iconic "Snow Fall" layout quickly, leading the newspaper's lawyers to strike back with full brunt force, ordering Brown to take down a claim that the app can recreate the story within an hour — something Brown actually did and posted video of — from Scrollkit's website. FWIW: We've used Scrollkit before, and it existed long before this current issue. It's not simply an infringement tool and to call it as such is not fair to Brown.
