How to find the WebSummit Startup of Interest - By PageLr.com


http://ideas.pagelr.com/websummit2014.html
Some ~ 1000 WebSummit 2014 Exhibitor Sites

Been working on a bit of a helpful demo for all you attending the WebSummit this year. A one stop shop to quickly look at some 1k exhibitors at the summit. Each site image is a link to their site, you can quickly scroll through and any exhibitor that looks interesting, you can open their site to find out more. In the process I also had the opportunity to learn a bit how to use grids in bootstrap. Although I really wanted to have adaptive number of columns depending on device/screen size, but that will be an exercise for another day. For a novice front end developer, doesn't look all that bad ;)
Then I had to figure out how to progressively fill/load the grid, I figured no one wants to see a page waiting to loading > 1000 images... seem to work reasonably well, a bit of JQuery but mostly just my own hacky JavaScript, if you're interested in how, have a look at the page source.


Oh, btw I have set up this ideas.pagelr.com site to from time to time publish ideas, demos, try out things etc. No landing page yet, but all of that will come...

Hope you enjoy
