[WIP] Add logic to show and hide unchanged text
Comment Actions
Two UX-y views on this:
a) If we collapse/expand the unchanged text everything jumps and the user must orient themselves anew. We could could relieve this with a (quick!) animation to fade from one state to the other. Technology-wise CSS transforms would be good (since potentially hardware accelerated). If jQuery falls back on such, it is fairly easy.
b) Since "…" could be part of a text, too, I wonder if some sort of fadeout would communicate the collapsed text better. Here an image of how this could look like:
c) I assume that if text is hidden, people will click on the … or the faded out parts to make it appear again. It would be a logical mapping, even if it makes all text appear instead of only the collapsed text at the place of the click.
