What a nice, narrow measure they have…

I already have May investigating the dynamic type size for mobile, but theres no reason it couldn't be used on desktop too.

I also like how the fixed header becomes the article title once scrolled, another thing we were thinking about.

This is quite interesting, since we've talked about similar redesigns involving elements they use here, such as...
  • Fully unifying the design across tablets, desktop, etc. 
  • Fixed header
  • More use of dropdowns (like the "hamburger" menu from mobile) to collapse cluttered menus
  • Much tighter column width
Other elements that I think are interesting and new to us are...
  • Putting the comments in a column alongside the content directly, when opened
  • Variable type sizing (see the cog icon for settings)
  • Content recommendations in a carousel at the top of the page
  • Navigating in a category of pages using left and right swiping. (Personally I think they will regret this one. People hate it so.)
