Haven't pursued the "large data" problem yet. Had to model the idea first just to get a handle on what the app would be like.
The criteria for "importance" of any paragraph is based on how many times that paragraph is cited--hence the title "Most Cited Constitution." So I modeled the idea, and it is attached. Parts of the code may need improvement and some things are hard-coded. But I'm really liking the app concept. Just may need to use a different tool to create the real product.
I used part of the US constitution as a model. Article I has 10 sections and I treated each section as a paragraph. Total reading time is set to 100 hours which is of course not true, just shows how the slider would work.

I appreciate everyone's ideas on how to handle 42,000 paragraphs.
