Play

Play shows an entry or a journal that has been brought to life: every scene, in order, with its pauses, on a black screen with nothing else on it. Watching is free — anything you received plays free. Only making scenes is journal gold.

#Open it

• The reader: "▶ play · n".
• The entry's ⋯ menu: "▶ play it · n".
• A journal's menu: "▶ play it" — "run the slides that have been brought to life".
• Bring to life: "▶ play it all".

#What you see

• It plays at once, on real time, and stops at the end rather than looping.
• "· playing ·" while it runs; once it ends, "▶ again" plays it from the start.
• "· close ·", or back, leaves.

Captions show while settings › "ease" › "captions on videos" is on — it starts on. The same switch decides whether a gif or a video you export carries them: off, it is exported without captions.

#When it plays by itself

In the reader, an entry that opens on its scenes plays once by itself while settings › "ease" › "scenes play as they arrive" is on and reduce motion is off. With "scenes play as they arrive" off, a slide is shown at rest and waits for your tap.

#With reduce motion

Nothing moves. It says "reduce motion is on, so this is said rather than played." and lists every scene in words, with no "▶ again".

#When there's nothing to play

• Nothing brought to life: "this hasn't been brought to life yet."
• The entry or journal has gone: "that is gone."
