Show a plain image in the timeline; reveal a hidden line of text — a confession, a punchline, or a secret note — when someone holds it.
Tease a cropped or dark version of an AI-generated piece, then reveal the full render on tap.
Timeline shows the 'before'; holding reveals the 'after' — edits, glow-ups, renovations, transformations.
Set up the joke in the visible layer; hide the punchline so it only lands when someone taps and holds.
