Gregory, your margin notes look great in the mobile view. I'm using mine as "frenetic" textual additions (thanks for the great description, HN commenter!), which would be too messy to inject straight into the content without a click-to-reveal.
It's a nice reminder, however, that search engines suck up the margin notes and inject them in the text where they find them. I noticed my site is indexed in Bing/DDG with the circle-cross icon in the middle of the text. I've been placing them so they line up nicely with the paragraph they're found in, but that doesn't lend to a very mobile-friendly reading experience.
A solution where I use eg cornflowerblue underlined icons, as suggested in the sibling comment, would be a solid solution for my personal use-case.
- xixixao 8y agoFor me it was weird having to tap around (to open and to close) in such a fluid article. It was distracting in a way. I would suggest trying to simply insert them into parentheses on mobile, perhaps heavily grayed out if you want to deemphasize, or if they're not that important drop them altogether.
