From the article: All it requires is shrinking the space allocated to the Topic section above, and increasing the space allocated to the story navigation by 50 pixels. I think this actually supports the mission of the app even more — to push you to read stories you find interesting I agree with this 100%. The lower navigation elements are WAY TOO small. Another option (if any Paper developers are listening) would be to allow dynamic re-sizing of the lower navigational elements. This is already allowed (it grows as you swipe up) - it just isn't "sticky".
