+1, or better yet, an on-hover for the footnote anchor which shows the actual footnote. Either way, I hate scrolling back and forth for context.

- jcr 14y agoThe hover based feedback was great for its time, but now, it breaks on newer touch based interfaces.
- nitrogen 14y agoIt would be nice if people didn't abandon things that benefit the mouse just because they don't work on touch. It's possible to support both a hover-based and a touch-based interaction paradigm for footnotes.
- rcfox 14y agoThis comes up pretty much every time pg posts an essay. Just click the footnote link, read it, then hit back. Alternatively, people could provide a link back to the place in the essay and use the :target CSS selector to highlight the footnote link to make finding their place easier.
