SEO’QUIRKE · CRAFT, RHETORIC & USEFUL ODDITIES

Writers’
Corner

A cabinet of rhetorical forms, practical references, and strange little machines for writers.

The slideshow can live on another screen without surrendering its controls. This page becomes the full control desk; the display remains usable on its own.

HYBRID CONTROL

Display there. Control here—or there.

The breakout is primarily a picture frame. Move the pointer and a compact control pill appears over the artwork. This page retains the complete controller, and both stay synchronized.

INTERACTION RULES

The poster always wins.

Controls never force the poster to shrink. They appear over the artwork and remain available if the main window is closed.

Auto-hide

Controls fade after about 3.2 seconds of inactivity, then return with pointer, touch, or keyboard activity.

Self-sufficient

Navigation, playback, shuffle, settings, and full screen remain available in the display.

Synchronized

Changes made in either window update the other whenever a same-origin connection is available.

Failure tolerant

If the original page closes, the display continues. If the display closes, the controller waits for another.

OPTIONAL, NEVER A GATE
