My design is based on this code by 18F.

@ericronne My personal favorite might just be the pop-ups (particularly considering mobile), but kind of want to leave this choice in @cwaring's hands vis-a-vis ease of implementation. They've all got their strengths, so I might be inclined to go with the simplest one to build.

[ericronne]

The 18f code is mobile friendly out of the box (not sure about vue-friendliness). +1 to @cwaring's call, 🙌

If this is being built in VuePress, any chance it can be built to be compatible with Vue as well so it can be used on ProtoSchool? See this open issue: ProtoSchool/protoschool.github.io#99

[cwaring]

I do love this idea but it could be an entire product by itself. As @terichadbourne pointed out the real value might come from a plugin that could work on any of our websites/apps. If we are considering i18n too it does start to get quite complex so we'll have to draft out the scope or MVP for testing on the docs site first.

I would exclude the glossary from the beta launch and bump it to next q as an enhancement.

[jessicaschilling]

+1 - I think that was actually always the idea.

Closing this issue in favor of already-existing #56, and linking in #56 to this discussion so we can implement visuals when we start work on this project.
