When you work on your next series, please describe the feature in a different order. Giving name, and then mechanism (from coarse to detailed), and then finally what it is good for, is a sure way to discourage people from reading the long description. What is the problem, what insight led to a new solution to the problem, and what the mechansim looks like, is probably an order to keep the reader engaged better.
