Side note: If you need to say this:

> (click on the icons for more information)

then you almost certainly have an unintuitive design and know it, but instead of fixing it you just doubled down on it.

I noticed this and thought it was quite odd. I thought the icons were weird screenshots because they were so big.

Comically the message worked and I tapped on them.

I forgive these kinds of design mistakes in OSS projects because I’d rather have stuff that works than beautiful sites.

Of course, I appreciate nice design too.

That being said, it's good that there's discoverable information there.

At my previous job, Symphony[0] chat was set up to launch at startup for all employees. I remember when the icons I call "Pyramid of Infinite Fun" and "Drone Strike" showed up in Symphony. There was no mouseover alt-text for the icons, and the Pyramid of Infinite Fun was right next to the icons for bold, italic, etc. text. So, people naturally clicked on the new icon a few times to see what it did, but it seemed to do nothing. The thing was, it caused a musical ding (like striking a musical triangle) for everyone else in the current Symphony room (channel), without any visual or auditory feedback for the person clicking the icon. So, being in Asia at the time, we heard waves of ringing noises from all over the trading floor when the London office got in. (Deployment of new versions was usually midnight NYC, so mid-day in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore, so the deployment for us was more gradual as people responded to notifications to restart Symphony to pick up the new version.) The sound was closer to a triangle than a bell, but I suspect the driver for using a triangle instead of the traditional bell icon was just to be perceived as making progress.

"Drone strike" was just the screen shot icon. However, it looked like a targeting reticle and showed up the same day as the Pyramid of Infinite Fun, so I was somewhat hesitant to try it out.

The smallest change I could figure out is just to delete the single `opacity: 0` line in the CSS for the `.portfolio-item-caption`
