Awesome. Thanks, @jimu -- I'll try this.

Note: the trailing "[4]" is not part of the actual URL; it refers to the link in the Reddit footnotes.

It's crazy that the current environment is encouraging us to surveil ourselves.

I met the most interesting guy once. He was a professor at Columbia and a consultant for Wall Street, helping design UIs for traders.

He explained how we process and prioritize visual cues -- how, if an element expands equally to the left AND right of our field of vision, it gets highest priority because it resembles an object heading toward our face.

For that reason, he avoided this design for everything except the highest-priority events.

Not crapping on your library -- it looks really nice :) But in general, I think it's worth considering if it's necessary to demand users' attention all over the place. I think information overload isn't solely in the content we consume but how it's presented.

Nice work; I dig the not-having-to-do-anything approach.

One thing -- hovering the demo button seems to affect elements underneath: http://goo.gl/9vD0D2

First off, very clever. Second, I have a case for which I might actually use this.

Using multiple textboxes, apply each search term to a nested mongo resultset. Visually narrow down the data structure you want to get out of mongo, and generate the mongo query you'd use to get that data.

Awesome; thanks for the feedback.

Could you give some examples? I'm very curious about these types of uses..
