I guess this feature doesn't have any fans 🙄😔

It would be nice to have, because I agree that going all the way to the bottom of the page is a pain. I'm still pretty new to Academic, but I really like how Distill and Tufte CSS solves these footnote problems.

A workaround that might at least partially solve the problem would be hoverable footnotes, as is implemented in the Distill framework.

Thanks! I had never heard of those hoverable footnotes and indeed they seem to be the way to go. Searching the web I found this. I will give it a try as soon as I can.

For anyone following this, this is my current solution, which is live in my website (this post for example has many footnotes). Happy for now.

@gcushen do you think this would be worthy of adding to Academic? It really improves the footnote experience.

Thanks!

I have been looking for a Tufte CSS style for my website in Hugo Academic too! This seems like a great working solution to the problem. Cheers!
