But do all sticky headers work like that? In sites that I build, I tend to just have a normal div at the top, followed by a div for the main body with "overflow-y: scroll".

#22It drives me mad when I'm reading articles with embedded code blocks where the code has less room than the prose and sometimes a bigger font!
It works well on eg this page (https://www.programiz.com/swift-programming/inheritance), but maybe someone that knows what they're doing can make it work on GitHub. It'd be nice to not see those line numbers taking up half the width.
I'm on my phone so I've only the bookmarklet to hand:

It seems there isn't a way to browse existing bookmarklets, other than the small, curated lists?

#25These things are so annoying. Is there a website benchmark not for speed, not for security but for "annoyingness"? I guess there is some overlap with accessibility, but that's not exactly what I'm thinking of. I asked Copilot and searched Google but couldn't really come up with anything.

#27The only sticky headers I like are the ones that disappear while scrolling to the bottom of the page but reappear when scrolling back up. Preferably while scrolling up the user is only seeing the navigation and logo. Otherwise, they're super annoying.
Bonus points if the header is absolutely massive and takes up a full fifth of the innerHeight.

#28Just for mobile, where it is very annoying on long pages (Laravel Docs for example) to scroll up just to get the menue button.

#29Anecdote: I was in charge of a complete rebuild for an e-commerce website a few years back, which included a new design. We were debating various layout options, as it was tricky to get the information hierarchy right and show everything necessary even on smaller screens.
