Spiral listing of items

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for rendering images of items in a ranked listing as a spiral on a network page. In one embodiment, a page builder ranks a listing of items according to a criterion provided by the user and generates a network page that depicts a spiral comprising a plurality of images, where each image is associated with one of the items in the ranked listing. The page builder arranges the images such that the image associated with the highest ranked item is located at the center of the spiral and the remaining images are arranged along a path of the spiral in decreasing order according to the ranking of the items associated with each of the respective remaining images. In addition, the page builder embeds a client side application that renders a shifting of the images when an image is selected by the user.
