Scroll the Burg: The Living Front Page

Listen · AI narration

The front page you came from just learned some new tricks — pages that morph instead of blink, a hub that knows the weather before you step outside, and stories that can do this. Keep scrolling. This editorial is the demo.

It starts with warmth. Every screen of Real Burg News burns in the same ember palette — no gray, no cold corporate neutrals. Now the pages move the same way they look: reveal by reveal, at the speed of your thumb.

The river runs through it. Fredericksburg isn't a feed — it's a place. The Rappahannock, Caroline Street, Hurkamp Park on a Saturday morning. Flagship stories can now pin a scene like this one and let the words scroll past it.

Mornings arrive prepared. By 6:15 the Burg Studio engine has drawn the day's comics, written the editorial, and warmed every feed — so the hub is already glowing when you pour the coffee.

And it never really sleeps. Weather refreshes every fifteen minutes, the wire every five. Follow a section and the front page starts saving signals just for you. No account. No tracking. Just localStorage and good manners.

A front page shouldn't be a list. It should be a place.

The Burg Studio

Everything you just scrolled through ships with zero heavyweight libraries — CSS scroll timelines, a pinch of IntersectionObserver, and the same warm glass the rest of the site wears. Editors can build a scene like this in plain MDX, in minutes, with <ScrollyScene> and a handful of steps.

The Burg, transmitted — now with a little more signal in the scroll.
