The back button problem is fixable. Discourse (which you’ll see on discuss.python.org and users.rust-lang.org) uses the history API to keep track of your location. You can create a URL that points at any individual post, and the page will appear “pre-scrolled” to it, so you can not only use the back button to return to your location in the infinite scroll, you can even bookmark your location in the infinite scroll. The scroll bar and find function can be mitigated, but not as elegantly. The real problem is that, when you load a page in the middle, it’s easy to scroll down, but scrolling UP is glitchy. That one can’t be fixed. https://meta.discourse.org/t/scroll-jank-when-scrolling-up/108381 https://meta.discourse.org/t/scroll-jank-when-scrolling-up/1...
