Notes

Excerpt for the third party publishers
Context Cards are a way to embed the supporting information needed to understand a story. This is traditionally done through writing. Context Cards is a parallel way of learning about a term the reader might not be familiar with and thus it works for both types of readers — the ones who need the context and the one who don't not.
Context Cards reduce the cost of exploration and makes up for a better reading experience.
