I’ve given my Guardian webapp a little visual overhaul.
Also included in this redesign is article navigation. Along the left hand side when you’re in article view, there are now up and down arrows. Tapping these should move you back and forth between articles in a section. All of the article tools — close, tweet, instapaper etc. — will also now follow you down the page, though this can be a little jumpy — until position: fixed is supported in iOS, this is as good as it gets. I did try a few different javascript solutions to this but they all seem like a pain in the arse. This’ll do for now.
The app itself has been using Web SQL rather than localStorage for storing articles for a few releases now. I’ll write up a more detailed post on that subject further down the line.
