I'm a bit confused. Smartphone operating systems do momentum scroll since the first iOS. Everywhere, not just in the browser. Is this website specifically talking about websites which try to emulate Android & iOS inertia scrolling on desktop browsers? (I guess momentum scrolling doesn't work well with mouse wheels, where the mouse wheel doesn't have inertia.)
- ziml77 2y agoThey are talking about adding that kind of scrolling using JS as demonstrated in the alternate version of the page that they link to. I don't understand why anyone would think it's needed though when scrolling already works like that at the OS or browser level. Doing it in JS just doubles up on the effect, leading to a very strange feel.
- Finnucane 2y agoAt least on my iPad here, when the screen is scrolling, and you touch the screen, it stops. On the demo page, it doesn’t. Who would want that, or think that was better? If I encountered that, I’d go away from that website and never go back.
