Better footnotes UX #110

Open srid opened 3 years ago

srid commented 3 years ago

Currently, footnotes are rendered very basically. See a demo here: https://note.ema.srid.ca/demo/markdown

We could spice things up here. For inspiration, see https://jamesclear.com/first-principles

Could use JavaScript for this work. Should be accessible, and work on mobile.

Tip: code for this would go here:

Hi @srid, I would like to work on this one.

@Mohib834 Are you working on this?

As an alternative maybe we could add backlinks to footnotes, like it is done for example here or here. I hate having to scroll up and search through the text after clicking on a footnote link.

I don't think anyone is working on this. Feel free to prototype something!

Agreed, backlinks (as in that arrow clicking which takes you to the footnote ref; not "backlinks" in the zettelkasten sense) would also be a good enough solution.
