About the Fork

This repo is a fork from CartoDB/odyssey.js. I have added some useful features, some of which can be found here.

About

The odyssey.js library is being developed to help journalists, bloggers, and other people on the web publish stories that combine narratives with maps and map interactions. The library is open source and freely available to use in your projects. It is initially being built to work with most modern browsers.

Goals

• Create a simple JavaScript library that links page elements to slippy map interactions
• Provide an API interface to the JavaScript library that makes use and customization easy
• Prototype and test multiple map interaction methods for storytelling
• Develop basic interface for creating new documents using the odyssey.js library
