The concept of collapsing any text between brackets "(" and ")". Like code folding in IDEs but for the web, mainly for reading long articles blown up by tons of brackets. Wikipedia is a good example.

Make sure to enable the checkbox on the right side of the demo saying "Collapse brackets", toggling it will turn every pair of brackets into an interactive element, collapsed by default, expandable as needed.

On mobile, perhaps? I’m guessing the website is not accessible.

The current implementation of the idea is a Chrome extension. I can imagine non-chromium based browsers to show things up a little broken.
