Effect is too darn subtle. #22

If we think it's NOT ENOUGH

  1. Make it happen some % of the time for each word always
  2. Make the animation cleaner / bigger?

% on seen is one solution, or have the full list and apply % to each word eveyr time?

[11:50] 
ie, only include them in the regex sometime?

Bianca Danforth [11:51] 
but wouldn't that lead to fewer substitutions?

[11:51] 
Yes it would.

[11:51] 
Mine is lower % forever

[11:51] 
yours is more words, but once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Peter suggested it flips oevery other pageview :slightly_smiling_face:

[11:51] 
like if you refresh 2x it comes back.

Alternatives discussed:

  1. Always flip every word always forever.
  2. Change from flip to "flip, then revert after a few seconds", on every word forever. I this can be done with CSS.
  3. Flip-flop every page / refresh (no 'wordsSeen')
  4. Randomly choose subset of words on a page. to flip (with or without strikeout)... has a 'slower rollout' / 'lower density'

I am liking “Always, with flip back after (1-2) seconds (by page), with subsets of words on different pages. No strikeout.”

[13:05] the words maintain their hover span, even after going back to normal

My vote:

  1. Remove (or comment out for now) wordUsed, so the full word list is substituted on every page.
  2. Possibly add some additional styles like making the inverted word a larger font size, bold, or even flash.

Not sure if the effect is still too subtle. For example, test out https://www.wired.com/story/how-email-open-tracking-quietly-took-over-the-web/

By the time you scroll down to the world "data" or "privacy", the effect has occurred and reverted offscreen, long before you scroll below the fold. Even if I search for "data" while the page loads to watch the effect, the page jumps up and down as images and other assets load in.
