Sweet domain! Was it expensive? Feedback: The home page's horizontal carousels/reels lack trackpad scrolling functionality. Interaction is limited to the arrow

Sweet domain! Was it expensive? Feedback: The home page's horizontal carousels/reels lack trackpad scrolling functionality. Interaction is limited to the arrow buttons on the side. To enhance user experience, it would be beneficial to make them scrollable via trackpad, similar to the Apple Store website.[0] [0] https://www.apple.com/store https://www.apple.com/store

Asking the important questions.

  I'm going through this very thing now. I'm focused on getting the backend features working, but getting pressure to make the tiny tweaks to the UI. Once you open the UI to actual users, priorities quickly get rearranged. The UI complaints are the punch in the "everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the face" phrase.

    All part of the process, though! Brick by brick...

Thank you! It was pricey, but not as bad as it could've been. I pre-ordered it a month before .app became available as a TLD, and bought it on the first day of availability (May 2018!). I've been planning on building this for some time :-P Re carousel feedback - thank you! We've talked about this but have been prioritizing some other features ahead of it. That said, your feedback helps us prioritize higher. Keep the feedback coming, the more the better! Also if you want to connect offline, lmk.

  Just to 2nd it. I came to the comments first, but after visiting the site, it does feel unnatural. Also to pile on, having to multi-click the next button one at a time per app feels tedious. Seeing how you are at this stage though, color me very impressed. I've just never paid attention to PWAs, so seeing them available like this gave me a totally different (positive) consideration for them. I would love to see numbers of use just to see how widely used PWAs are. This isn't an idea for the UI for popularity per app, but just for PWA in general. Just in terms of if this is something I should be considering. Great job and good luck!

Agree on the carousel. The buttons are small and clunky — if you miss them you get a page you don't want. Just use a div with overflow:auto for native browser scroll.
