Worst scrolling of any website of any website I've ever used. I can't get it to stop on the second slide. Seriously people, when can we drop this obsession with landing pages that hijack the scroll bar and turn a document into some sort of slide show? I just want to scroll down and read your content, but instead I'm forced to try touching my trackpad in various spurts trying to get it to stop when needed.

Front end devs or some graphic designer. Its good for marketing a product as long as its kept to like under 5 items. For showing data/information, it is a terrible way to do it. I dont want to read a powerpoint presentation.

  Even with 5 items, it's bad. It would be better if they just disabled scrolling altogether and gave me a big "next" button to click on - at least then it would be possible to reach a discrete slide. I think this might have looked good on whatever device it was designed for (I'm guessing PC+mouse), but as soon as you try to interact with it using a trackpad or mobile the experience turns to shit.

At least it has a scroll bar. It works really badly, in that it doesn't actually scroll the page, but it's there. I have seen this kind of page which didn't. The scroll wheel is interestingly broken, though. It looks like a single movement triggers a transition to the next slide, and then all input is ignored for a couple of seconds. The same applies to the keyboard, so pressing the down arrow key a couple of times will move once. I know the people behind the site are here, reading these comments, so I don't want to sound rude, but... I'm really interested in lucid dreaming, not being able to do it myself, so I am precisely the target market for this device, and even I am finding myself turned off by this website. It's actively hampering marketing the product.
