Anyone else find this really buggy/broken + A horribly non-intuitive awkward way of presenting information even if it worked?

- dmra 13y agoThe UX of this site is pretty bad. There's nothing to tell you what you should click on or what clicking on those elements do. I found myself clicking on random things, ending up in places that weren't related to what I clicked on, and not sure how to get back.
- everyone 13y agoMy first reaction was to scroll down the page, as the scroll bar was indicating there was more below. Apparently I was not supposed to do this as it basically flips out. This is your typical 'fancy flash website' syndrome
- burntsushi 13y agoScrolling worked just fine for me. It moved between the pieces of the visualization quite smoothly.
- everyone 13y agoOn websites it is not customary or to be expected for scrolling to bring you to essentially another page. This thing is a slideshow fitting badly into webpage format.
- burntsushi 13y ago...... I don't contest that ...... You said it "flipped out", which I took to mean that it didn't function at all. I replied saying that it worked for me. That's it.
- everyone 13y agoYeah, it also flipped out on me (I had a load of green lines instead of text) But I'm more concerned about the intended design. I think the act of scrolling triggering a full-window video is shocking bad.
- fennecfoxen 13y agoYes. However, I will say that it became much more effective and downright usable with a discrete scroll wheel (i.e. NOT the two-finger gesture on a Mac trackpad). Not sure exactly how to characterize a web design decision that's hardware-dependent like that.
