Feature idea: instead of adding context information in the citation itself (e.g. in parens), you could have a "hidden" context field. In this way, the citation body would remain "pure" and (hopefully) funny, but whoever starts wondering "what on earth are they talking about" could click on the "Reveal context" button and see more information about what context the citation was uttered.

To sum up my suggestion:

  • When adding/editing a citation: a new text-field "context"
  • In the list: citations with context get a link/button "What context has this been said in?" or something similar (with a ❔ -icon perhaps). Clicking on the icon would reveal the context/explanation either in place, or in some kind of popup

Example

Old way

Citation: "Man kan döda två stenar med en fågel (om hur man fixar deadlocks)."

New way

Citation: "Man kan döda två stenar med en fågel."
Context: "Presentation om hur man fixar deadlocks."

Hej! Sorry for the late reply, didn’t get any notifications on GitHub 😕

Yeah that sounds like a good thing to have, do you have an idea how to represent this in the list and not to clutter the general view? Maybe like a question mark icon-button that reveals the context?

No worries. Yes, some ❓ -icon or similar is what I had in mind. Maybe some funny "confused" smiley with a tooltip that says "What does this mean??".
