Methodology

How This Scrollytelling Project Was Built

This project uses scrollytelling to explain the relationship between wages, inflation, and real purchasing power. Instead of presenting the whole argument at once, the page breaks the idea into smaller scrolling sections.

Project Question

Did wages actually improve over time, or did inflation reduce their real value?

Claim

Although wages increased over time, inflation reduced the real improvement workers experienced.

Spec-Driven Development Process

I followed a spec-driven development process by defining the purpose of the page before building it. I planned the story sections, chose the exit checks, built the homepage, added a content page, tested the build, and prepared the project for GitHub Pages.

Exit Checks

• The homepage loads and uses scrolling to reveal the story.
• The methodology page works as a regular content page.
• The project includes an image in the public image library.
• The production build completes successfully.
• The README includes the live GitHub Pages link.
