Instead of a boring scrollbar thought it would be fun to have an animated stick figure that walks up and down the side of your page when you scroll.
This is the first prototype i made.
Going to make a skateboarder, rock climber, or squirrel next. what other kinds of scroll buddies should I make?
- johng 2y agoI like it, it's neat!
- hello12343214 2y agoadds a bit of fun to a website :)
- rexer 2y agoMaybe a raindrop? Anyone else cheer for raindrop races as a kid on long drives? An apple falling on to Newton's head. Fun to think about!
- JKCalhoun 2y agoTwo guys pumping a rail-car. Someone rowing the scrollbar thumb (the longer the thumb, the more rowers).
- hello12343214 2y agorow boat would be cool
- chuckwolfe 2y agoMy first two ideas to ‘innovate’ on this was; a car driving down the page, or a drag racing Christmas tree where the lights count down in ‘full tree’ style.
- inatreecrown2 2y agoscuba-diver. also cave explorer on a rope.
- hello12343214 2y agoscuba diver would be cool
- memhole 2y agoPenguin waddle, slinky
- davidw 2y agoSome gears meshing together and rotating that 'make' the page go up and down?
- block_dagger 2y agoVery cool idea! Suggestion: add a trail of breadcrumbs that the figure tosses behind them and, when scrolling up, picks them back up again or kicks them off the screen.
- hello12343214 2y agothis is a great idea! I am working on a few other scroll buddy animations :)
- fooker 2y agoMonkey climbing a pole (children's arithmetic problem) Cat, with different animations depending on how fast you scroll. Elevator, with stops at paragraphs(/some other break)

- linhns 2y agoA platypus?
- ohwaitnvm 2y agoLove it! Super creative :) How about a skier with little jumps or obstacles at each header
- andirk 2y agoA guy falling that just keeps eating shiit.
- oniony 2y agoI like it. Coprophilia guy, they could call him.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoI think you took that too literally. “Eating shit” is an idiom to indicate someone fell down.
- Sateeshm 2y agoI am going to do one with Homer Simpson falling down a cliff hitting everything on his way
- jorisboris 2y agoChange the persons orientation (make him turn around) when going back up?
- croisillon 2y agocould it turn around and walk up forwards?
- mandmandam 2y agoStickman Michael Jackson; complete with moon walk, anti grav lean, side glide, circle slide, and a toe lean at the end. Crotch grab optional (maybe on click?).
- amelius 2y agoBookworm, of course.
- slightwinder 2y agoA rocket, flying saucer or bird seems obvious, for something which is going up and down. But as an improvement, it should also handle the direction of scrolling. At the moment, the buddy always looks into the same direction. Unless it's Michael Jackson doing a moonwalk (which you could add too), it's inconsistent.
- nosioptar 2y agoI normally react to sites touching my scrollbar with language I shouldn't repeat on someplace as innocent as the internet. Scrollbuddy is different. I would take a bullet for scrollbuddy. I want him on all sites.
