It made me leave the website almost immediately, despite being somewhat interested. It's not usable for me on a totally standard MacBook Air, because as soon as I even touch the trackpad, the website decides to scroll up a whole page, when of course I wanted to scroll down.

I'm not interested in fighting with ridiculous scrolling games. If they don't care about testing their ridiculous scrolling plugins, I don't care about their product.

Sometimes I reach out to companies on Twitter or email telling them to please disable their weird scrolling effects. Nobody seems to care. I conclude that this behavior signifies a company that doesn't care about user experience.

By now I'm a little curious about these things, so I did a simple test of starting at the top and trying to scroll down to read the rest of the page. I can't find any way to consistently scroll to the third page. Just touching the touchpad on the second page causes an upwards scroll, even when I'm very obviously trying to scroll down.




Sounds like a lot of the complaints are from trackpad users. I guess the site developers were too lazy to test on more devices than their dev stations.


Yeah, I don't doubt that it works fine with a single event from a mouse wheel.
