There are few things that frustrate me more than scrolling down a web page, while trying to read and article, and having the header become sticky and obscure what I'm reading.
As far as I can remember, the _only_ app I've ever seen get this exactly right (in terms of not ever obscuring text) is the New York Times' Android app.

Nope, now you have to scroll 50px because the navbar spawned. Oh, it's gone again. Nope, it's back, I didn't even mean to scroll up 1px that time. It's no wonder my girlfriend makes more than I do as a UX professional. Someone on the team that actually has the users' interest at heart is critical. Else you get these ridiculous break-room ideas that nobody spent more than 5 seconds thinking about.

Then when you scroll up by dragging it (no ‘kick’ up), it remains collapsed. But if you ‘kick’ up, it shows both urlbar and bottom buttons at full size. It’s like that since ios 7, afair. Websites just show it on scroll-up no matter how you do it, so annoying.
- frosted-flakes 7y agoWhat do you mean by "kick up"?
- wruza 7y agoPut your finger on screen, move it quickly enough down, lift it while moving, so content still scrolls inertially. As opposed to put, drag, stop, lift.
