This page is infuriating to use on my phone. I can barely scroll, and when I do get lucky, it bounces back to the top and more things load.

- lowtolerance 7y agoWeb development-centric websites often seem to totally ignore the need to provide a usable mobile experience. It’s maddeningly weird.
- acoard 7y agoIt's not unsurprising. Web development happens practically exclusively on desktop/laptops.

- paulryanrogers 7y agoAnd leave scroll bar rendering to the browser or OS vendors!? Think of the pixels! /s Seriously though I believe it's often done to make infinite scrolling and scroll-transitions more visually pleasant. (Not that I agree with the sentiment, but if visuals are more important than anything else...)
- Waterluvian 7y agoMaybe I'm a small ignorable minority but almost all my library skimming is done on a phone. I explore new technologies when rocking babies to bed or dozing off myself.
- pault 7y agoAnd yet many of the sites I build have majority mobile traffic. It's borderline incompetent to ignore the mobile ux these days.
