I don't understand why every application/website hasn't started to use end/footnotes of the same responsiveness as sites like http://marco.org http://marco.org

- ssharp 12y agoI don't know if that style would even work for Infinite Jest. David Foster Wallace, the author, is known for his extensive use of frequent, long, multi-page, and often multi-level (footnotes having footnotes) notes. I look at how Grantland has adjusted to using footnotes, since several of their writers (Bill Simmons, Chuck Klosterman) were influenced, in some part, by Wallace and utilize lots of footnotes, and think it's a decent experience on desktop, but not that great on mobile devices.
- thrownaway2424 12y agoThe Kindle can't do things like that. Also in the case of the book I mentioned some of the endnotes are dozens of pages long. Those won't fit in a little animated bubble. Some of the endnotes also have their own footnotes.
