Sorry ;) Yes, recording is only possible on mobile devices, because otherwise it's far too easy to reach long distances. It's very easy to bypass scrolling on a workstation! And yes, some people have scrolled for an hour and a hal

I'll make a note of that and try to fix it, thank you.

That's a fair point. The punchlines are there mostly to make the empty scroll a bit more entertaining while you go down. But you're right that nothing really scrolls by in the traditional sense. The idea is more about measuring ho

It's just standard JS numbers (IEEE-754 doubles), not BigInt. The distance is accumulated in millimeters, so even if someone somehow scrolled hundreds of kilometers we'd still be far below the 2^53 integer precision limit. So prec

Yes, yes, I know, but the site is designed for mobile devices and for the real pleasure of scrolling, not just cheating. Just for fun ;)
