All the best to you! Just one little thing: I think you're killing your conversions. The website is janky even on my M1 Macbook Air. Not sure the scroll hijacking stuff is really needed to get your point across either.

The scroll hijacking turned me off. I have an M3 so it was pretty smooth (not ProMotion smooth but kinda smooth), but I just want to SCROLL a page! Especially with a trackpad (which I exclusively use). Not blocking my scroll halfway through, it's just so jarring. Yes, cool tech, but we want simple websites. Your product should wow us, no special tricks needed.

  > Yes, cool tech, but we want simple websites. Your product should wow us, no special tricks needed. Agree. Many times when my teams or I built products we had came up with cool CSS tricks or visual pizzaz during the creative process. Swishes, swirls, micro interactions, confetti, particle animations, and all that jazz. Absolutely adore stuff like this. But: you really need to put yourself into the chanclas of a new user. Of a person who's on the page for the very first time. During their lunch break. While waiting in line for a coffee. Ask yourself: Is that really needed? And cut mercilessly. Side note: You can observe a different flavour of that same thing in great screenplays / movies. Nothing is there just for the sake of it; every scene promotes the plot and tells us things about the characters. [0] Compare this to the drawn out, flashy, soulless action sequences you see in DC action flicks or Matrix 2 and beyond. [0] E.g., excellent analysis of one of those case here: Pirates of the Caribbean - Accidentally Genius (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdBNVY55oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdBNVY55oM)

Smooth enough on my X201 with library wifi. Not a fan of those flashy websites though

I opened this link on a mid-range android phone, and it was completely unusable.

I just didn't think there was anything else on the page when scrolling didn't scroll.

Scrolls fine for me using Safari on my 7 year old iPhone X.
