It's a fun little project and I appreciate the effort you put in, but I found it hard to "consume".
As already written, the text takes too long to show up. Why not have a mouse-over and show a full block of text?
I think it would have been great, if the effort went into something more "useful", like improving/cleaning up something like Sheldon Brown's collection, which is already great.
Furthermore, so many things are missing and unclear
- you seem to show only a ahead stem. I'm missing the spacers.
- you're missing the Dunlop valve and the new Schwalbe Click Valve
- your selection/explanation of wheel sizes also leaves much to be desired. Having someone finally explain the ETRTO sizings to me ( and that both 28" and 29" wheels use 622mm rims ) was eye-opening
I know that it's hard to draw the line somewhere and that this should be a site for beginners. but still
I disabled the text animation for now since I can see how it would be frustrating. Maybe later I’ll go back to a line-by-line reveal since I still like the aesthetic!
Content-wise, some of this stuff I’m still learning about and hope to fix/correct, and some of it just won’t fit into a page, nor do I really want to force too much content into it and risk it not being accessible to noobs like me. Like you said, you have to draw the line somewhere and there was always something more I could have added.
Agree about the slow text reveal.
Having a mode to automatically, instantly, "just show me already" would be good.
If you want it to look fancy maybe have all the text fade-in over the course of the animation? Once the parts are all in place you'd then see all the text.
