How hard you have to work to break scroll on web page? Nice article, but going through it was a technical nightmare.
Can we stop adding unnecessary JS to website to stop global warming by calculating AND ALTERING SCROLL?
Odd. It was a designers dream (and a readability nightmare) but I didn't have an issue with scroll.
Firefox on Samsung S23, not exactly a new or a powerful phone but rendered it fine.
Why is it a designer's dream to hijack and control my scrolling experience? The scroll they've implemented is slow to respond, and has a weirdly low capped max speed. I don't understand why that's what a designer dreams of doing to me. I like my scroll (and other computer interactions for that matter) to be responsive and fast. You know, the kind of thing that puts me in control, not the designer.
That being said, the scroll was as smooth as regular webpage scrolls. Usually these JS scrolls aren't able to avoid dropping frames or otherwise introducing judder, but this one does appear to run at a consistent and high framerate, which is technically impressive.
Good idea in theory but terribly impractical in practice.
What exactly is the good idea? It's ignoring my accessibility options. I'm getting motion sickness.
If you have motion sickness and have a macbook, use the motion sickness dots.
