My advice would be to somehow indicate exactly the text that was expounded -
maybe with a faint underline or something. When it expands out, it's sometimes
difficult to track the exact words that suddenly appear.

StavrosK
Ah, good idea. Right now you get a fade, but that's easy to miss. Of course,
the intent is that the expounded text becomes a part of the overall paragraph,
so you shouldn't _need_ to know what was just expounded, you just read on, so
there's definitely a balance there.

Also, the text is very very easy for the website owner to style, with just a
single CSS rule.

EDIT: I've added some styling information to the page, thanks.

This is the first time i heard about
[https://gitcdn.xyz/](https://gitcdn.xyz/) while checking your page source.

That's actually a smart idea for a CDN :)

StavrosK
Yep! We were using rawgit initially, but it went down on the first day for
hours, so we changed to that instead.

Interesting. I personally like to use sidenotes for this type of thing on my
website; it's nice to be able to scan the sidenotes for additional info
without clicking on anything. On the other hand, they really don't work on
mobile. BigfootJS[0] is the nicest footnote-inliner I know of that also works
gracefully on small screens (unpaginated media); if you haven't seen it, take
a look.

Feedback for this library:

\- It would be cool if you could set a few preset levels of expansion (TL;DR,
expert, beginner, ELI5) and toggle them at the top of the page.
