There's some kind of sickening scroll acceleration applied to this page, making it exceedingly frustrating to use with a magic mouse. Not surprised due to level of shit shoveled onto the site, but I have no idea why anybody would want to subject their users to this.

It feels like someone recreated the experience of a slippery ice floor from a platformer game in a webpage. It's amazing that they found something less pleasant to do on a webpage than the mouse-following-sparkles that used to be popular on people's geocities pages.

Also an ad appeared over the "I accept" cookie banner right before I was going to click it.

On my end I saw 40 things blocked which must have included both all ads, that cookie accept garbage, and any other nonsense. Ublock origin + firefox 71. Even scrolling seemed to be pretty normal on the normal page although its even nicer with one click to view in reader mode.

A quick look at the code: it appears that theres javascript keeping the top-bar "sticky" instead of good ol' CSS. So every time you scroll some new computation kicks in. The jerkiness may be the massive amount of computation thats taking over your browser. Im by no means an expert on web stuff - so this is just my guess.

Interesting, I've seen another site a few weeks ago that seemed odd when scrolling too. I think they are a great company with a decent product, but this is a turnoff. I was thinking of contacting them but felt a waste of time since probably whoever I contact would go to someone that isn't a web developer and just feel like it'd go nowhere to improve their site. Especially if it only happens on Mac, and they are using another OS as was wondering if the site did it on other platforms or even browsers too.

It works pretty well with JS disabled.

Makes me think that I should go the way of the (perceived) average HN user and tighten up my browsing experience...

It matches with the design of this jail

I visited the site at work and it brought vanilla Chrome to its knees. There is just an obscene amount of garbage that loads (and continues to load) on that page. Phew.
