R Markdown Scrollytelling Template

Introduction

This project hosts a skeleton structure suitable for building out and publishing a map-based scrollytelling interface based on R Markdown. You can build your own scrollytelling interface using R and R Markdown, using free tools such as git, R and R studio, and publish and host it for free using GitHub Pages.
