I can see this actually being useful if done well, but I didn't like the demo just because of the annoyingly highlighted words. It should only show up if I mouse over.
- giantrobot 3y agoThe best (worst) were all the ads that were a pop up underneath the cursor. There was absolutely no safe place to park your cursor. The ad of course occulted the page and you couldn't read anything. The bastard sibling of that type of ad was the popup under the cursor when you were just hovering over a link to see where it went.
- pegasus 3y agoThat was my first reaction too, but on second thought it could be quite useful for spotting one's topics of interest on a page. I often do a cursory scan of the HN front page for discussions which might interest me, for example, and I bet I often miss stuff. It could make it less likely for me to miss comments of interest, too. If this is would be a plugin which could be turned on or off per site, I'd use it.
