Thanks for the feedback. We do have scroll effects, but aren't intentionally trying to hijack the scroll behaviour. Are you able to provide some more info eg, browser/os - if you could provide any screenshots to me, that would be super useful: shaun@obvious.io

Sure, it happens for me both on OS X 10.10 (Chrome) and Windows 8.1 (Chrome). It looks like you might be picking up the scroll event and then using that to scroll smoothly, rather than letting the browser actually scroll. The experience on my Macbook is that I sort of "swing" from one place to the next, rather than gliding like I usually do. On Windows (using a scroll wheel), I notice that the scroll is more of a glide, as opposed to the natural "jumpy" scrolling I experience with the scroll wheel.

It could be the case that the Macbook, being much more sensitive to scroll, is exaggerating the smoothing effect, causing the "swing".
