Talk:Beta Features/Hovercards/Archive 1

Comments around actions and read more would help our current line of thinking. General Feedback welcome.

Animation
Something like http://daneden.github.io/animate.css/ fadeInUp for entrance and fadeOut (but much faster) would be nice. Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Actions in popups
Pros
 * Direct access to some actions, like watch, talk, history (feels like very advanced user actionsJaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Access to "read it later/next" type action (same or different than watchlist?)Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Cons
 * Fitt's Law don't suggest a second target like "read more…" that goes to the same place as the link that is directly under your cursorJaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Having additional targets inside flyout means that it is on screen longer, and not dismissed when cursor moves out of the bounds of the link, this could distract from the reading experience. Jaredzimmerman (WMF) (talk) 23:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Priority of popups to roll out

 * 1) Articles

Have some code
Just saw this in the recent changes. Please take a look at w:User:Yair rand/NavPopupsRestyled.js. Still probably quite buggy, but it seems to cover all the stuff mentioned here.

I strongly recommend not trying to force this on any community, by the way. If you think it should be enabled by default, propose it at a village pump. --Yair rand (talk) 13:32, 23 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Yair. My understanding is that we plan to enable this as a Beta Feature at first, which is opt-in. Steven Walling (WMF) &bull; talk   19:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
