> If you want to show progress while the reader is somewhere in the middle of a page, you could use a page progress bar. There used to be a great feature available in every scrollable window which showed one’s position: the scrollbar. The bar itself was nice and wide, and there was an indicator right there which showed where one was in the document. They were useful, and they were consistent. Then scrollbars got skinny, and then they disappeared. And so now each page which wants such a thing has to reinvent it. Also, it’s very difficult to actually scroll windows anymore. Edit: yeah, he does mention that it’s nice to know position in the article versus in the comments. Point, and while separate windows/panes/frames/whatever would be one way to handle it, his suggestion is probably better.
