I absolutely love this, but I hate websites like this so much, especially on mobile. I’m haphazardly scrolling hitting breakpoints trying to get to content that either lags well behind my gestures to animate a device spinning around, or zips past everything I wanted to actually read. If you want to show a video, please just show a video.

Rest assured the website is as smooth as gravel on desktop too.

Almost gave myself a seizure trying to scroll down.

It's funny, you can basically play back the first animation in dev tools by just scrolling through all the media requests. Each frame of the animation is a separate PNG.

Why don't they provide an MP4 and show it frame-by-frame on scroll? It would be much more efficient than hundreds of PNGs.

this pains me :-(

I agree, but I also enjoy the way that they've emulated the apple website experience for product pages.

[caseyohara]

Except Apple's product pages are smooth and performant.

I guess it looks nice when cached, but i am just scrolling empty page and when I stop, after a second I get random picture. An epitome of atrocious design

[OvbiousError]

Agreed, at this point a lot of websites have become laggy human-powered movies.

Wouldn't be hacker news without a comment shedding the bike to talk about the design of the page and make no mention of the actual product.

The scrolling worked fine for me for what it's worth, and is obviously a knockoff of apple product pages. Satirical even I'd say.

Bike shedding is bike shedding because the color we paint the bike shed at the nuclear power plant doesn't matter. If people can't use your scroll-jacked website to even learn about your product, that matters.

[fkyoureadthedoc]

Wouldn't be hacker news without a comment explaining why their bike shedding is actually good and necessary.
