So I'm torn on this. I like the tablet mockup with a table of contents on the side (though I actually tend to use the normal view on a tablet) but am a bit skeptical about the phone sized one.
- The small issue: The floating contents button covers up a bit of content (not much obviously but anything will while scrolling) and has some oddities while using.
- The bigger issue is fairly easy to fix: There is no way to escape out of the contents section (like an x or back) other then clicking a section once it's opened which was confusing when I wanted to drop back to the main list of condensed sections.
The biggest thing though is more of a gut feeling. It just feels... clunky. I think that if using the site myself I'd rather use the, already hidden, sections (pressing show/hide as needed) rather then the contents and save the extra click each time. Having to click over in the corner to get a table of contents seems a bit superfluous when the section list (with a show/hide) essentially acts as the same thing showing what is available.
