Bootstrap Affix Plugin
The Bootstrap Affix plugin is pretty cool, but using it properly isn't particularly obvious.

We've been using Bootstrap 3 for a number of projects recently, and one plugin that we make use of is the Affix plugin. This plugin is especially handy on mobile devices, because it can be used to nail the nav menu to the top of the page and have it stay there when the page is scrolled. Since mobile pages tend to be a lot longer, having the nav menu "always on" makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, the Bootstrap documentation doesn't quite articulate exactly what you need to do.
