It's very clever but doesn't really do anything for me.
The first time I hit the space bar I get text rendered over an image, and it's hard to read.
Further page-downs trigger the video, but there's no obvious place to look for what's causing the sound since the video is not centered on the page. It's off to the side, and either close to the top or the bottom of the screen.
It's much like someone handing something to you to read, and then as soon you try to read it they start talking to you.
Video keeps playing even if I've moved further down and the video is mostly off-screen.
I appreciate people trying to do something a little more engaging but it's not done well enough here to offset the annoyances. It distracts from the content.
- chill1 14y agoRunning latest version of Chrome here... The videos play when they come into view. They immediately stop playing when they leave view. I actually don't mind that. The videos themselves are each pretty short, so they don't seem like they'd be too distracting if trying to read the content.
- aggie 14y agoThe videos should delay starting until they are most of the way on the screen already, otherwise they are a distraction as I finish reading the text above them and they are just peeking out from the bottom of the screen. Stopping when they leave the screen works nicely though.
