This is confusing. In the screen recording, I see two popovers, _both_ of which appear when clicking.
Yet I would view a hint as one that appears simply on hover: a tooltip.
The article jumps ahead "But wait, didn’t clicking on the hint popover close the auto one? ... Because you’re inducing an action (click), it activates the light-dismiss of the auto popover. This is almost certainly not what you want when you’re creating a hint popover." but completely omits what a hint is supposed to be in the first place and whether this actually is a hint. As far as I can tell, this hint type of popover is not actually behaving like a desktop-style tooltip hint.

- vintagedave 1y agoThankyou. That looks much better. I'm confused what the first recording is trying to show, but it looks like the new popover seems far more useful in this form.
