Scrolling the notes is a little difficult. I keep trying to do it, and sometimes it works. Sometimes nothing happens, or I just highlight text; that target's pretty small. (It's particularly annoying when it cuts off a comment I'd like to read.)
Tried to leave a reply, and then it said "Enter a username". Changed my mind, couldn't get back to the commentary without reloading the page.

- dmvaldman 14y agoThanks for the feedback! Scrolling works best by using a mousewheel or trackpad. I agree it's not ergonomic for the click and drag approach, and adding width would help that. We ask for a username only to give a unique identifier for a comment, and so that you can see which comments are yours. We don't ask for an email or social network link because frankly, I dislike demos that do :-P
- Dove 14y agoMakes sense. Maybe put the username and comment together? It scared me off and I forgot what I was going to reply to. I do love the idea of these annotated debates. I wish the last half was pre-annotated, at least with the questions and factcheck.org references. It's a nice way to watch.
- Dove 14y agoThe scrolling works well. It's a little weird, though, that it takes the mousewheel scrolling when I'm mousing over the comments. It makes sense, now that I've used it, it was just unexpected enough that I didn't think to try it the first time -- I wanted to focus on the element first. I see now that it's acknowledging the mouseover focus by making the scrollbar visible, but maybe that should be more visually obvious. I didn't see it at first.
