thanks for the feedback, I should probably gather the row height of HN dynamically instead of having a hardcoded value that seems to work for my devices g
You should be able to click on the links again after closing the heatmap (there's a little x on the right upper corner of the heatmap control that makes the heatmap disappear)
I really like the idea. It's a nice way to go to what "probably" are the most interesting topics when you don't have much time.
I think that being able to click directly on the heatmap instead of having to close it first, and therefore not losing your visual aid, will be a big improvement.
Anyway, nice job.
P.S. I also have a problem with the height of the rows, tested both with Chrome and Firefox on W7.
- The heatmap is sometimes off some pixels, see http://imgur.com/FyqOG
- It's not possible to click links any more after applying the heatmap. This basically makes it useless, as you have to refresh to page in order to click a popular link.
