Wow! If you insist on having a floating bar at the top of your web page, this sort of scrolling progress indicator should be mandatory.
(Also, I learned about menstrual cups due to your enticing reference to the progress indicator which tipped the balance in favor of clicking though to the article.)
- amelius 8y agoI already have a scrollbar indicating the position in the page. Now I have two indicators, which seems a bit much.
- Fnoord 8y agoTrue (though I did like it aesthetically as it isn't noisy). This custom scrollbar could've added several features though such as an indication of how long the article would last time-wise (which is an estimate). Tells me much more than a scrollbar would.
- FearNotDaniel 8y agoVery often there is a difference between how far you are along the article, versus how far you are down the actual page, especially if the page has a large footer, additional advertising down there, and an unmoderated comments section. In the latter case, the actual text can end less than half way down the page. So the additional indicator, when used wisely, can actually have a valid use case.

- saagarjha 8y agoOn the contrary, I find issue in some implementations because they install JavaScript scroll event listeners and can adversely affect scrolling performance. It’s definitely not something that everyone does right.
