I recently wanted to implement a visualisation of a stream of incoming events. For the visualisation I wanted a list where the latest event is added to the beginning and the other events move down the list in a snake like pattern (to minimise the amount of movement). This is an example click on the squares to see my implementation in action. I used jQuery promises (which I recently blogged about here), metro css and coffeescript to implement this visualisation.
