NameTrace

Long-form articles (e.g., Wikipedia plots, news stories, and blog posts) routinely flip between first names, last names, and full names of the same person. A politician introduced as Chuck Schumer in paragraph one is just Schumer for the rest of the piece. A novel synopsis names Ellen Ripley once, then five paragraphs of Ellen and Ripley in alternation. Readers either scroll back or lose track. NameTrace fixes that without disrupting the reading experience. On any article-shaped page with a dense cluster of name mentions, hovering a name reveals (a) the full canonical name and (b) the original sentence where the person was first introduced.
