This is a prototype visual search interface that explores content from the Digital Public Library of America. It is designed to provide an 'at-a-glance' visual overview of search results that allows a user to quickly assess whether or not their search was a success, and an intuitive means of narrowing the scope of the search.

Built and tested with Google Chrome, may or may not work in other browsers.

See it online here.

Known issues and next steps:

• Fix limiting by 'physical objects' and 'moving images'
• Improve date limiting (use mean date instead of begin date to calculate range?)
• Add sort by
• Add routing
• Improve subject facet legibility

Thanks and praise to the creators of...

• DPLA
• d3 (and all Mike Bostock's fantastic examples)
• angular.js
• yeoman and the angular generator
• bootstrap-sass
• lrinfinitescroll

...without whom this would not have happened.

Original portions of this project are shared under the WTFPL.
