Context

Currently, users have to scroll back up in order to select a topic or filter the article by newest | oldest | top. This will be annoying especially if they have loaded a good number of articles.

Expected Behavior

There should be an easy way to either select their topic of interest or filter the topics.

@NiallJoeMaher I think what @Olaleye-Blessing is asking is something similar to firstissue.dev

@Bitnagar From a quick glance, it doesn't seem to work too well on my mobile and takes up a lot of space 🙈

Not concrete examples but MDN has a sample; (View on PC) You could access any of the page content from the in this article section cause it sticks to the screen. You don't need to scroll back up to do this.

I made a video of what it will look like: https://streamable.com/zqow4j
