UX Note: The Verge's In-Article Navigation Makes for Easier Reading

Just like in life, a really big part of being comfortable in your surroundings is just knowing where you are. Even if users don't ultimately get lost, they'll feel uneasy using your website or app if you don't remind them from time-to-time (with a heading or a breadcrumb or something else) where they are in it. The people behind The Verge, a digital tech magazine, get this. They give users a sidebar that follows them down an article as they read. No forgetting your place anymore. It makes readers more comfortable, adds context and provides jump points for those who may just want to get to specific bits.
