  • When doing searches on Google, users wanted to be able to skim each article, instead of reading them entirely.
  • Users liked that they could see the previous section read. Graying out the previous section was a good idea.
  • Some people would have liked to know where the specific "chunk" of text was, relative to the rest of the article. 
  • Some people expressed frustration that they weren't able to switch to view other pages from the Progress List. This occurred because we did not make a mock-up of every page that Google showed. 
  • When articles chunked immediately, it was not obvious what the page looked like before being chunked.
  • Many people were curious to know what commonly visited pages would look like, such as Wikipedia.
