Taking our newly launched Word Cloud feature to the next level! To support massive classrooms filled with endless creative ideas, we are proud to introduce Word Cloud Zoom & Pan—giving teachers absolute freedom to navigate, zoom in on hidden gems, and glide through dense clouds effortlessly.
✨ Key Features in This Update:
- 🎛️ Seamless Multi-Input Controls: Move around the canvas your way! Scroll your mouse wheel to zoom and drag to pan, use touchscreen pinch-to-zoom on your tablet, or simply use the on-screen control cluster (
+,-, andReset) pinned neatly at the bottom-right corner. - 🔄 Live Updates with Unbroken Focus: The word cloud will continue to poll and pull new student submissions every 4 seconds, but your custom zoom and pan coordinates will never snap back or reset unexpectedly. New answers will fluidly animate into place right beneath your current view.
- 🎯 Cursor-Anchored Precision: Zooming naturally targets exactly where your mouse cursor is hovering. No more disorienting shifts—just clean, intuitive focal points.
- 🧠 Smart Click vs. Drag Context: We've fine-tuned the gesture physics! The system easily distinguishes a fast drag (panning the screen) from a clean tap/click (opening the "Who Answered" roster popover). Panning around the cloud will never accidentally trigger student profile sheets.
- 🔄 One-Click Reset Recovery: Panned too far into outer space? Don't sweat it. Hit the Reset button to instantly snap the entire canvas right back to the dead center (
scale: 1, x:0, y:0).
