I was thinking of something similar. But I was thinking it should be a straight list (one article per row) and to the side should be a graphical bar. Mouse over the bar and the content goes away forever. So you can just swipe your mouse side-to-side over the bar to consume the content (and not see it again).

Already tried that, but I can't find a good reliable realtime datasource.

I could only find the news.ycombinator.com/bigrss feed (which blocks Yahoo YQL, so I can't convert it to jsonp). The workaround would be a proxy that circumvents the block, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Anyone from HN who could help me out?

Scrolldit.com is bugged in Opera, I tried to fix it but can't find out what goes wrong and how to solve it. Is there anyone here who can shed a light on it?

I am assuming this uses the isotope jquery plugin, if anyone else is thinking about using dynamic grids like this I would suggest taking a look at the project. (free for non-commercial use) http://isotope.metafizzy.co/

I'm working on something similar but a little more like an HN-specific Flipboard in the browser.

It uses Masonry, from the same author as Isotope. Difference between those two is that Isotope uses GPU accelerated CSS animations. Sadly there are quite a few bugs when you combine CSS animations with flash (for example on the iPad), videos won't render on the proper position. Therefore I had to stay with masonry. Please let me know if someone is aware of a workaround. (Example of the bug: http://jsfiddle.net/desandro/t3Cmy/)
