Show HN: wikiUp - Wikipedia in Tooltips

Neat idea but it is way too animated, and the animation is too slow, making it feel inaccurate when mousing from one item to another. Somehow I also got it to bounce back and forth between two tooltips really fast by mousing from one bolded text to another.

This has potential but it needs a little less bling and a little more polish.

Looks cool, but it sometimes takes a while to show up and flickers Consider fetching Wikipedia data at page load. I set the window to fullscreen, hover over Apple, move the mouse over the yellow tooltip, and move it up a little bit until it it slightly above the tooltip's top border.

It's a lot better than the one in FastestFox, though. That one is horrible.

Quite similar to Google's official 'Dictionary' extension -- which I highly recommend: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-dictionary-...

Good stuff! It'd be nice if the data was pre-loaded in some way that doesn't hinder the page load time. Not sure how, off-hand, but know it's possible.

This is sharp, I like it, but just FYI: the tip never goes away on iPad.

it's just god damn slow.
