You hit the nail on the head for some of our hard design choices we didn't really end up with a great answer to.
1) the scanned resumes do disappear, but only after 30s which was likely a bit too lengthy, as the user has already scanned new resumes by then
2) The pop-in on top was, unfortunately, the alternative to pop-in on bottom of the stack, where the user then has to dig under all their existing papers to find it, if they even noticed it spawned. I do wonder if there was an alternative between the two extremes, but we weren't able to implement any in time.
I appreciate the feedback all the same! Thank you for playing
