I thank the rsync.net folks for getting rid of that horrific scrolljacking on the homepage which was there the last time I looked. Actually, it seemed to have been fixed since I complained about it to them on here.[0] Not sure if those events are connected :) While their pricing is substantially more than many others (the primary complaint that I see here), in return their support is the best I have ever received from any company ever. Getting responses, in less than ten minutes in some cases, from fully-clued and super-competent engineers - I'll take it. (no connection to rsync.net other than that I've used them at work in the past and I'm renting space on someone else's account for my personal backups) [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12960218 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12960218

We got a lot of complaints about that weird scrolling behavior - thank you for your own complaint which surely pushed us closer to ripping it out. I can confirm that nobody that works at rsync.net is not an actual UNIX engineer. You will never talk to anyone here that isn't an expert. Rare these days, but sometimes you'll even talk to me.

Ah, greetings rsync.net person, and thank you for the reply :) That makes sense. Your staff are a true credit to your company. And the only times I (or people I am working with) have had to talk to you is because we were trying to do something weird like getting a MegaFuck3000 NAS with Debian version -1.5 working with your systems, not because your infrastructure has ever failed. Much love for your company and all that make it as great as it is. <small>(but seriously I preferred your old webpage)</small>

  The scrolling is still totally broken. Go to homepage on iPad, try scrolling down. For the love of god startups should at least test Andoid 2 versions back and iOS current version. It's just sloppy not to be test your home page on mobile.
