This isn’t scroll hijacking

You can scroll normally, with all your favorite keys, or go super fast to the bottom

It’s just scroll animations. Bad ones, admittedly.

> just scroll animations. Bad ones

Scroll animations, post-grid floating voids, bouncy house dampening, hyper rounded... everything. These are the 50s Chevy fins of today.

I've enjoyed working with some great designers over the years, Stanford D-School and even wild-raised. All the good ones intuitively steered clear of trends destined to be era-stamp tropes. They'd say, "I can already hear the ghosts of design-future mocking me: 'That's so early-AI' and 'Yo, the mid-20s called and wants their bento grid back.'"

    This page was designed for today, for making it to HN, not 'the ghosts of design-future'.

Just use your page_up/page_down keys, and you can skip all the stupid/excessive scrolling requirements.

Except you can’t.

I scroll down, and the content of the page doesn’t move as expected.
