Harry Fischer
During November 2024, Harry Fischer developed a sticky Table of Contents for long-form articles in the guardian/dotcom-rendering repository, focusing on enhancing navigation for content with more than five sections. He implemented persistent TOC visibility at the top of the viewport using CSS and React, ensuring the navigation closes when a section is selected to streamline user interaction. The solution incorporated a dedicated z-index for proper layering and leveraged CSS-in-JS techniques to simplify inner scrolling and hide scrollbars, resulting in a cleaner interface. This work addressed user experience challenges in navigating lengthy articles and demonstrated thoughtful front-end engineering depth.
