Improve Mobile Experience: Hide navigation elements when reading, reveal on scrolling up #352

Open

Description

@cpdean

Screen space is precious on mobile devices. Instead of having navigation elements always visible, they could be revealed only when needed. A common solution is to reveal them when a user is scrolling up.

    I read that article and thought the same thing. I actually would like to move the mobile nav to the top in general - right now it's pretty thin on the bottom of the page. iOS7's Safari uses the bottom few pixels of the page as hit targets for bringing up their tool bar, which means you have to double tap in order to actually hit the links.

    That means we have to rethink the header on mobile, but that's fine.
