next UX iteration

[pvh]

Step 1: cleanup

• remove compass -> double-dagger & number (‡)
• position tool-tip right by cursor

Step 2: try inline-always-visible ‡

Step 3 option a: make double-dagger better
Step 3 option b: go back tool-tip and consider delayed hover-expansion in place

[pvh]

Going with option b -> go back to a tooltip because this reflow stuff is terrible and we don't see a way to solve it.

Also:

• number on double-dagger button in browser toolbar
• selection hover expansion
• double click not triggering selection code (it works in memex)

[pvh]

• wait for selection to end before querying

[pvh]

• wild flickering when dragging selection sometimes

More notes

• the x-ray view covers content -- if we want the content to be interactive it should all be reachable
  • move sidebar back to bottom?
• during xray, make clear what we're xraying -- is it the root of the current view? a highlighted link? a selection?
• long selections should be ellipsed to not overwhelm the sidebar
• if the current sidebar context is not the page root, clicking the page should make the context the page root. if it's already the page root, clicking should close the xray
• escape should close the xray

[pvh]

• simlinks for the root page view should be included too
