Slightly off topic, but beautiful site. I love sites that change and update the content in a floating manner as you scroll... NYT website has had articles like this for the past few years..

Does anyone know of packages or libraries that can help you do this? Or do I just need to hack my own JavaScript?

"Scrollytelling" is the term you're looking for - The Pudding did a solid walkthrough of a few libraries [1], and I've found scrollama [2] to be a solid bare-bones library. This talk [3] is a few years old, but it's a good one for seeing some different approaches scrollytelling can take.

Thanks for this. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Scrollytelling is a terrible name! But at least theres a term for it.
