There are some websites that have some kind of an indicator to display the current reading position (how much you have “read”, depending on how far you have scrolled down an article). Generally, such indicators are used on blog posts or long form articles and help readers understand how far they are from finishing the article.
CSS-Tricks has shared an article: Reading Position Indicator, uses a horizontal progress bar as the indicator. But instead of using traditional div/span(s) and some non-linear math to build the indicator, we will use the HTML5 progress element. It is much more semantically accurate and suitable to represent this information, and that too with no complex calculations involved.

PourOver is a library for simple, fast filtering and sorting of large collections. It allows you to build data-exploration apps and archives that run at 60fps, that don’t have to to wait for a database call to render query results.
PourOver is built around the ideal of simple queries that can be arbitrarily composed with each other, without having to recalculate their results. You can union, intersect, and difference queries. PourOver will remember how your queries were constructed and can smartly update them when items are added or modified. You also get useful features like collections that buffer their information periodically, views that page and cache, fast sorting, and much, much more.

Seen.js renders 3D scenes into SVG or HTML5 Canvas. Seen.js contains a simple abstraction on top of the graphics capabilities of SVG and HTML5 Canvas elements. All of the other components of this library are agnostic to the type of context it will be rendered in.
Seen.js contains a looping, event-firing class for animating scenes. The render context contains a method .animate() which will create and return an animator that is set up to invoke the context’s .render() method. To modify the scene on every frame, listen to the ‘beforeRender’ event.
Seen.js includes adapters for mouse rotation and mousewheel zooming. For best results, use a quaternion to create a rotation matrix from the x,y movement of the mouse. The zoom adapter directly returns a scale factor that can be applied to your scene’s model.
