I really dislike this new style of corporate website which every startup seems to be using these days where you cannot scroll easily and random images are popping up as you scroll. It's such a shitty user experience and makes me immediately click away from the site, just let me scroll and see your content! Is this what ChatGPT or Claude is by default creating when you ask it to make your corporate landing page?

A lot of it is also sudden adoption of new web publishing platforms as well.

For example, recently Framer has been a popular platform used by startups to build their websites so now suddenly you see a lot of lookalike/feelalike websites. They must have a deal with funded startups or something, they are popular among funded startups because they are expensive.

So you must be seeing a lot of websites developed using a certain platform ui that you dislike. I wouldn't be surprised if Framer is actually what you hate. Funny thing is now I have started recognizing framer sites easily.

Scroll hijacking to update animation states is always an exercise in frustration on the phone. Quick swipe down and now I’ve moved between 5 different states. Some kind of accordance for these states and a kind of “detent” on each would go very far toward improving it.

Fair point :) believe it or not, this website was actually manually built from scratch.

If I use the scroll bar or touchpad it's not too bad, but using a scroll wheel is causing me immense pain.

The design otherwise looks great, I just cannot be arsed to follow the flow they're forcing.

Claude makes far more traditional pages by default, which I prefer. Pages working as pages with content at least for the landing.

It's called scrollytelling.
