- oefrha 7y agoPlus it’s the most janky site I’ve encountered in a while (reading on an iPad). Hijacking scrolling on a goddamn blog — thanks for the creativity.
- wbazant 7y agoI like that people's personal sites don't have to be optimised for pleasing users and hence have so much variety to them, it's the one bit of the old internet that we still have with us
- sk0g 7y agoI feel like scroll hijacking is a recent thing, or at least I've started noticing it a lot more in the last few years. It's honestly so jarring 90% of the time, that my initial instinct is to reassess how badly I want to read the content! I do not have a problem with it for full page scrolls though, which I know a lot of people hate. Or that one page that showcases the scale of the solar system by forcing you to scroll for ages!
- oefrha 7y agoIIRC parallax scrolling on the web became a thing roughly a decade ago. Initially only the cool kids were doing it, and the reaction was usually: cool, didn’t know you could do that on a web page. Fast forward a couple years, everyone and their mom is doing it for all kinds of wrong reasons (like in this case it’s used to load the previous/next article — if I want more I can click on a prev/next link, thanks) with crappy implementations, it’s tiring and hostile.

- camgunz 7y agoIt's a little intense, but I like it, and I'm oh so bored of yet another black on white scheme. If we're gonna make the web a creative space again, there are gonna be some misses (I don't think this is one, but to each their own). Let's be a little charitable and keep our eye on the ball.
