Meta comment: The custom scroll behaviour on that site is awful. I hate sites that try to "improve" the behaviour of scrolling by making it faster/slower than normal.
- Exuma 6y agoAmen...
- raverbashing 6y agoYeah, it's ironic in a way. TXT files should open as TXTs and scroll should scroll naturally and not be tampered with.
- elwell 6y agoLove this comment
- jspash 6y agoI've been racking my brain trying to figure out just what "benefit" is had by this type of scroll-jacking but to no avail. It does seem to help in any way and all it does is frustrate the user. Luckily the spacebar behaviour remains untouched, but you shouldn't have to experiment with each and every snowflake webpage just to have the default actions act as you would expect. It's not the author's fault necessarily. Well, they _did_ choose the template and decided to keep it. But the template comes from a company who targets WP templates towards Female Entrepreneurs, most likely in a bid to win some slice of Google's keyword share with "Feminine Blogger Templates". Not sure what my point is, except that maybe they are incredibly out of touch with a lot of things these days. And I'll it there. This is turning into an unintended stream-of-though rant. Sorry!
- argvargc 6y agoImagine if a site made the user downpress on a link for a longer time before the click would register? It's actually insane.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThe spreading plague of JavaScript has resulted on plenty of situations of middle click on a link not correctly opening it in a new tab.
- grishka 6y agoYeah. I had to disable JS to make it bearable.
- gh123man 6y agoIt gets even worse if you try to "pinch and zoom" on a mac.
- elwell 6y agoTotally agree. Appears to be using a script called "SmoothScroll".
- stjohnswarts 6y agoUblock origin blocks it evidently.
