THE TELEtext MINDSET
PAGES • DENSITY • DISCIPLINE

THINK IN PAGES, NOT SCROLL

Teletext-Tools is not a scrolling website.
Every page is complete inside the frame.

If information grows, it becomes another screen or another page.

DENSITY IS A FEATURE

Pages are deliberately information-dense.
This allows faster scanning and fewer taps once learned.

IF IT DOESN’T FIT

Correct fix: add a page or screen.
Incorrect fix: shrink text or spacing.

SPEED NAVIGATION
MUSCLE MEMORY

TYPE PAGE NUMBERS DIRECTLY

Typing 101, 199, 201 is faster than browsing menus.

USE THE INDEX AS A TELEPORT

P199 is the fastest way to reach unfamiliar pages.

CORRECTING A MISTYPE

Just keep typing — the PAGE box overwrites automatically.

INTERNAL SCREENS
1/3 • 2/3 • 3/3

PAGES VS SCREENS

A page number changes the Teletext page.
NEXT / PREVIOUS changes screens inside the page.

WHEN TO SWIPE

Swipe left/right only for internal screens.
Do not swipe to change page numbers.

READ THE COUNTER

(1/4), (2/4) etc. tells you how much more content exists.

CONVERTER POWER USE
PRECISION • SPEED

USE SMALLER UNITS

Convert m → mm or kg → g to gain cleaner numbers.

CHECK FROM / TO FIRST

Most “wrong” results are swapped units.

PRESETS AS TEMPLATES

Presets are starting points — change values freely.

RESULTS & FORMATTING
READING OUTPUT

FORMATTING VS MATHS

Display formatting never changes the underlying conversion.

TRAILING ZEROS

Removed to keep Teletext layouts readable.

SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

Only shown when it genuinely helps understanding.

MOBILE SHORTCUTS
iPHONE • ANDROID

WAIT AFTER A SWIPE

A short delay prevents accidental ghost taps.

DISMISS KEYBOARDS

Tap outside inputs to reveal hidden rows.

RESET ORIENTATION

Rotate device and rotate back to refresh layout.

TIME & CLOCK DISPLAYS
FULLSCREEN USE

USE LANDSCAPE MODE

Landscape often provides the clearest wall display.

CHOOSE HIGH-CONTRAST BACKGROUNDS

Dark, simple images work best behind Teletext colours.

PREVENT SCREEN SLEEP

Use your device’s display settings for long-running clocks.

LOCAL SAVING
WHAT IS REMEMBERED

NO ACCOUNTS

Settings are stored locally on your device only.

PRIVATE BROWSING

Private mode may reset saved preferences.

MULTIPLE DEVICES

Settings do not sync between devices.

LESS OBVIOUS BEHAVIOURS
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT

MOST ROWS ARE TAPPABLE

If it looks like a row, try tapping it.

COLOUR MEANING

Yellow highlights navigation and emphasis.

RIGID BY DESIGN

Predictability beats animation every time.

FINAL ADVICE

GO DIRECT

Memorise page numbers you use most.

TRUST THE SYSTEM

If something feels rigid, it probably is — on purpose.

WHEN IN DOUBT

Add a page. Never add scroll.
