Not only does archive.org have infinite scrolling... It has no pagination interface for regular people! AND YET! It has pagination on the backend! It's a URL parameter! So I emailed them. At first, they didn't understand, they said the design team wanted infinite scroll, so I said, that's fine, infinite scroll is fine, that doesn't preclude pagination, in fact pagination is already implemented on the backend. I offered them a couple of possible 5-minutes-to-implement unobtrusive designs and also offered to do it for free. All it requires is links since the backend is done... https://i.imgur.com/R12ckYU.jpg https://i.imgur.com/R12ckYU.jpg (the proposal) They don't care. They choose to die on this hill for absolutely no discernable reason; regular users who can't edit url parameters be damned. I love them and their mission so much, but good lord, this one particular decision is so stupid. Just put the damn pagination buttons on the site so regular people can use them, they don't know how to use URL parameters! edit: If the value of pagination isn't self-evident, one of the values of pagination is that it allows you to go back to where you were a different day or on another machine, instead of scrolling through 70+ pages of stuff you've already seen... Or, perhaps, to skip 50 pages to find much older/newer/more interesting stuff, etc...
