What! This blew me. This magic happening before my eyes. Forget the negative comments here on HN, the fact that you had such an insight, it's awesome.
Going constructive on the HN comments, if someone found something, you got a right to protect and earn from it anyway, charging for however a simple idea helps it spread and let's you do more innovation on it. But that said, maybe a library with paid access is a better idea than api which needs to travel across 14 seas and 7 oceans!
- debdut 5y agoThis React component library is monetized to heaven! [1] https://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/pricing/ https://alvarotrigo.com/fullPage/pricing/
- chrismorgan 5y agoIt’s also obnoxious and utterly frustrating as an end-user. (I know that’s not the aspect of it you’re remarking on but rather the monetisation, but I find their demo just so painful and the entire idea quite ill-conceived. Scrolljacking is always bad. Stop trying to take over the page flow and just make it a normal page that I can scroll as I desire.)
- xvector 5y agoI think the idea is great but the greediness on display here kind of disgusts me. Here is something that could legitimately be useful for many people, help the consumption of human knowledge when open-sourced, but instead it is patented and monetized to the maximum extent. Super distasteful.
- chrismorgan 5y agoI believe we’re talking about different things. I’m talking about fullPage.js, but I think you’re talking about Bionic Reading.
