I hate this trend in ‘ultra modern’ websites with the infinite scroll pulling you through some sort of animation. The website is near unusable as a result.

- kahrl 5y agoI might be ignorant here, but what trend? Scrolljacking was popular for about 5 minutes back around 2010 during the HTML5 craze before people realized how awful a UX it is. The only place I still see it being used regularly is Apple sites. Have you seen this pattern used elsewhere?
- saddestcatever 5y agoI'm sitting here on a 2015 Macbook Pro and the site barely runs :P
- jkelleyrtp 5y agoFun fact - if you have "reduce motion" enabled on macOS the webpage becomes a normal flat scrollable page (what you'd expect).
- ask_b123 5y agoNice fact! I've enabled it now.

- NackerHughes 5y agoHey, it's marginally more usable than unskippable Flash intros, which is what we used to get. Although, unlike other similarly effect-heavy apple landing pages I've seen in the recent past, this one doesn't appear to offer a decent alternative version when javascript is disabled, which is a disappointment.
