Comment on Reverse-Engineering Xkcd's 'Frequency'parent

Comments

I'm the guy who built that, and I agree. I tinkered with having another "Show Code" button at the top, but my attempts looked bulky and distracting. Still trying to figure out a better way.

In the meantime, pull requests quite welcome: https://github.com/jsvine/reporter

Maybe something more discreet than a large button at the beginning, like:

  <p>(Code samples are hidden. <label><input type="checkbox" id="showCodeSamples"/> Show code samples</label>)</p>

As a note of feedback, I didn't notice the button at all. (Only knowing about its existence after looking at HN comments.) You do need to take a little bit a the viewer's attention for them to know about the feature.
