Ask HN: Opinion on Inline Expandable Footnotes?

1 points by jmheinkle 7 years ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


I am a writer who spends a lot of time balancing narrative with technical detail. I find this really challenging.

I just saw an interesting technique that could help: inline expandable text. This is used in this NY Times article below to present footnotes:

Has anyone seen this technique used before? Any comments on it?
