Just FWIW you can’t hover over things on mobile, that’s a pretty bad way to reveal what the badges are for. It would be better to just show what the badge is for in smaller italics text under the badge name.
It would also be cool to see a list of all possible badges.
That being said, enough of the world is gamified already… this is nice work and a fun diversion but I’m glad it’s not a real feature of HN :)
Another annoyance with hovering on Firefox - hovering over the image itself doesn't seem to work, you have to hover over the text near it.
How is that a FF issue and not a dev issue for placing the hover on the correct element?
I'm not saying it's a FF issue, I'm saying the issue is present on FF and I haven't tested it in other browsers.
Not a dev issue, a dev feature for accessibility
On iOS you generally can see alt text if you long-press an image. Not sure if that's true in this specific case.
The hover tooltip in this case is on the text though, so this won't work (you'll just select the text).
