Part of explorations around Make Transclusion work, exploring how you can make current web better by bolting transclusion-ey things on top of it
I find it valuable to "peek" at things as I browse the Web
What I mean by peeking is engaging with content in a way that is less of a "commitment" vs navigating to the page or opening it in a new tab.
Which allows me to gain richer context for the page I'm and avoid {{switching costs}}
Link text & title often does not communicate enough information for you to know if it's actually what you're looking for/want to engage with deeper
contexts
google search
newsletter
satisfying curiosity when reading a larger text
but a brief look at the content of the page is often enough to confirm whether it's something you want to interact with
from search: is it a bs article & you're captured by seo
from newsletter: does this actually look like something I want to read?

implementations
live preview in Safari - inadequate, but good bc implemented on the browser level
my experiments
mixed success, I find it useful sometimes, but most of the time it's in the background
Nutshell usages in the wild?
ui experiments
expand-to-view-in-place vs hover previews?
persistent sidebar previews similar to how people do side-notes
opening things in a new tab is pretty good actually

command browser
"loop up" functionality in mac/etc
