Cronycle VS D3.js

Cronycle is an all in one tool for content curation, collaboration, and distribution. Cronycle set of structured Topics span across 50K+ deep domains to give an immediate kickstart for research & curation. Content discovery is made easy with recommended sources like related topics, RSS, and Experts on Twitter. Receive newsletters and aggregate Google Alerts into feeds.

The feeds can be optimized using advanced keyword filters to bring out content specifically useful for you. Feeds can be shared amongst team-members for collaboratively working on curation and filtering. Cronycle provides a dedicated space designed for the collection, enrichment, and publishing of content, called Boards where both individuals and teams can work remotely. Any form of content can be pinned to Boards, either from Feeds or from anywhere across the web. Boards allow curators to highlight, annotate, comment, add summaries for all the pinned content.

Team members working remotely can be notified using mentions on tiles and discussions can be done across teams on content. They can also assign tags to Pinned items either to organize Boards items or to publish as hashtags. Boards have multiple seamless integrations to schedule the pinned items across social media, using social media scheduling tools such as Buffer and Hootsuite. The curated content can also be published on websites via our WordPress plugin or as RSS feeds. A newsletter can also be sent through the boards or hosted on Cronycle.

D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. For example, you can use D3 to generate an HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction.

D3 is not a monolithic framework that seeks to provide every conceivable feature. Instead, D3 solves the crux of the problem: efficient manipulation of documents based on data. This avoids proprietary representation and affords extraordinary flexibility, exposing the full capabilities of web standards such as HTML, SVG, and CSS. With minimal overhead, D3 is extremely fast, supporting large datasets and dynamic behaviors for interaction and animation. D3’s functional style allows code reuse through a diverse collection of official and community-developed modules.
