Fun. I'm eager to get this into our beta pretty quickly as there is nothing like testing with real wiki data.
hopefully it will get deployed to beta today. I pushed Erik's suggestion earlier today [1]
- Can we make the new footer slide up rather then down? Hitting the
more info, scrolling, and then seeing the links takes too long. I'd like to see my options right after hitting more info.
Agreed. This is proving a bit of a pain and I can't find a nice solution for this yet.
- Whenever you tap on a reference we 1) Expand the reference 2) Start
the overlap animation 3) Show the reference. We should skip #1
I'm not sure what you mean here. Currently clicking a reference just fades it in or out. There should be no expansion animation - just the opacity changes.
- Could we see a version of references that both a) fades/appears
faster b) rolls up like the footer ... so that we can a/b them with people
I've added options to allow experimentation with animation speed. As for a slideup animation due to issues with fixed positioning in mobile [2] this is proving a bit of a pain. I've had to resort to using absolute and top positioning which is making things like rolling up not as clean as I would like. Again I'm in thinking mode on how best to do this.
- Lets pick a standard size for the ref box and leaving a trailing
'...' in case we run over. Currently if i tap on multiple references then the size of the box can and usually does change per reference.
I'm not sure about this.. where a reference is long how would I get to the full text? Would tapping ... reveal the rest of it?
