"Scrollytelling" is the term you're looking for - The Pudding did a solid walkthrough of a few libraries [1], and I've found scrollama [2] to be a solid bare-bones library. This talk [3] is a few years old, but it's a good one for seeing some different approaches scrollytelling can take. [1] https://pudding.cool/process/how-to-implement-scrollytelling... [2] https://github.com/russellgoldenberg/scrollama [3] http://vallandingham.me/scroll_talk/examples/

There are some posts about it: https://pudding.cool/process/how-to-implement-scrollytelling... And a whole category on it: https://pudding.cool/#how And a repo for a "scrollytelling" library by the author: https://github.com/russellgoldenberg/scrollama/ Source inspection is hard as it's all been bundled, but you can see some of the json data in there, and some custom functions to do the plot interactions. The plot code is almost certainly D3 (based on some of the non-obfuscated calls).
