Lagwagon: Let's talk about feelings

(Or something like that)

A few weeks ago I found this incredibly useful chart that describes different emotions you can use when you write about, well, emotions.

unreadable chart

As you can see it’s been through the optimise-by-force mill of several posts on Facebook and other social media mangles and thus has become hard to read.

Fret not, for I spent the five minutes to turn it into a more readable interface.

You can find the source code of the HTML version on GitHub or click through it in all its glory on capable browsers. Older browsers get a simpler interface. I tried to make the showing and hiding as accessible as possible, but there is still space for optimization which I will ponder when I am back from the Christmas market.

Enjoy.
