Main features

  • A card that displays a summary preview of the first sentence from the summary section of a Wikipedia article

  • The card has licensing information

Interactions

  • A user can tap on a hyperlink on a website to view the preview card

Hi, could you clarify what this task is about? The title doesn't specify anything nor the description.

@Masumrezarock100 This is a placeholder task for the Inuka-Team team to remember to define and implement a mobile-friendly mode in the Wikipedia-Preview component. We don't know much more yet but if you keep watching you should seem more information soon.

SBisson moved this task from Backlog to Dev on the Inuka-Team (Kanban) board.

@AMuigai I have a first version done. It's basically the same thing as desktop but it's at the bottom of the screen and it's activated by touch instead of hover. Basically the plumbing is in place. It would be great to have product and design input before we make anything public.
