- Analysis Summary
- Shortens long pre-start time estimates on Quests cards to labels such as ‘30s+’ or ‘1m+’.
- Why It Matters
- The time label helps people judge the effort required before starting a Quest.
- A shorter label can simplify the card, but it also removes some precision for people who want the exact duration first.
- Detailed Description
- Before a video Quest has any progress, the treatments replace a long exact countdown with a capped short label.
- The 30-second treatment shows ‘30s+’ above that threshold, while the 60-second treatment shows ‘1m+’ above 60 seconds.
- Durations below the selected threshold keep their actual value.
- After progress begins, the card bypasses this truncation and continues to show the current progress time.
