WikiWand is quite nice. Love the TOC. The font, not so much, but it's a minor gripe.

The first one obviously knows his audience, the skins on top of color options and list of languages to the left.
WIkiwand has this "we have detected recent edits…" which makes it feel like a very lively page! The ToC is great. Typeface choice overpowers the layout though.

I really like having the table of contents available at all times. Is there any reason we didn't explore using position fixed for the tablet table of contents to make it available at all times?

I've been thinking that'd be a great thing for us to do on the apps when we get to tablet optimization, too...
You'd have to make the list separately scrollable since the list may be pretty long on some pages and overflow the page. This should be pretty easy on modern versions of Safari, Android classic browser, Chrome, and Firefox, but I don't know if it'll cover some obscurer browsers. (Do we worry about Opera for tablet?)
Might also consider landscape versus portrait issues -- in landscape mode on even a 7" tablet there's plenty of horizontal space for a ToC but in portrait it's often a little cramped to always show a sidebar. I'd recommend having the presence of a sidebar depend on the available width (or make it slide-out when not wide enough).

I'm liking WikiWand a lot.
* Nice table of of contents indeed.
* Interesting use of well-performing transitions (for desktop) that smoothen the load (they start just after the first half is rendered so there's no visual building blocks like we have, it's delayed enough to avoid a rendering spree, but quick enough to not be an annoying delay).
* A fullscreen media viewer for thumbnails.
* Not being full-width near-edge fluid (imho a no brainer).
* No awkward sidebar that is empty when you scroll down and too prominent with things not used as much by readers when you scroll up.
It does seem to have those sidebar and top bar features (like Discussion, Edit, History) and toolbox sidebar (What links here etc.) too tucked away though.
