Dear fermatslibrary,
Every time I try to read an annotated paper on your site, I spent a full minute clicking the left margin and the paper, back and forth, trying to get a single view that shows all the annotations.
My monitor is huge and I like to read a whole document, top to bottom, by click-holding my scroll bar once and dragging (up and down) until I am done.
- daveloyall 11y agoMaybe the current setup wouldn't be so bad if not for the animation, which slides (jumps?) the document to the right every time I open an annotation. Addendum: the animation is slow.
- fermatslibrary 11y agoHi daveloyall, Thanks for the feedback. We are probably going to release a new version of this interface in a few weeks. We are planning to have the sidebar always visible (once you click in a comment) and then update the comments while the user navigates the paper, so that you don't have to click in every comment.
- iconjack 11y agoAre the only ways to sign up (in order to contribute) either facebook or google?
- munificent 11y agoI do this too and then I eventually leave the site in frustration. I can't even see which pages have annotations until I explicitly close the sidebar. :(
- white-flame 11y agoI left because it brought up some modal popup wanting me to sign up for some mailing list. Annoy-ware isn't appreciated.
- nathancahill 11y agoThe mailing list is quite good, it's one paper every week, and nothing else.
- bloodorange 11y agowhite-flame wasn't talking about the frequency or content of the mailing list. The annoying bit is the modal popup. Modal popups are rude.
