The article is a neat read! The design of the blog itself is even more interesting. I don't love the right-aligned way it starts, but I love the inline activations of the left popup! So cool

The way https://gwern.net/ does it is quite good.
The links open in a window, so you can still have centre aligned text with popups.
i've been wanting to implement a design like this for blogs for 5 or 10 years. Great work on the inline detail on mobile. genuinely better than whatever i would have made.
did you consider pushing the word(s) directly following the activation button to below the detail pane, rather than doing it based on line break?
Thanks! It has some cons, like worse scanability. But I think its really cool that you can have something open next to your paragraph, especially when you need to consult the popup quite often. Like, a table with a bunch of data would also be quite nice with this approach I feel.
If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it!
