People might not enjoy your 'joke', but you do have a very good point. When I looked at it the first time, the mouse problem didn't came up. I used my two fingers and like in the authors mind I just swiped to the left and the timeline moved as expected. After reading the comments, and seeing the 'mouse problem' I could see it in my minds eye how it 'breaks'. But seeing your comment I realised the web site only breaks…

I wouldn't call it a very good point. I'd call it, based in no small part on your response, a bias towards people who use MacBooks. It's unfortunate to see this attitude towards the very large segment of the internet-using population that are using "older" input devices (which are still much more practical for many use cases).

If you actually look at the mousewheel JS events generated by goddamn Macbook trackpads, they're painfully evil. I have yet to find a really solid library for handling them, and my own attempts are hackish to the point where I'm considering splitting it into a special "Macbook trackpad" case. On the browser.

I've been following Cheeaun's work for a few years now. The guy writes plugins for various tools, always hacking away at things. It's quite entertaining to see what he comes up with next.

I've been using his http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ to read HN on my phone for a while (is it years yet?) now. I try others as they appear and so far continually go back to his.

My quick web search didn't show anything without caveats, but if there's any decent javascript that can be used to make the mouse wheel scroll the page sideways, that would be a really nice addition.

I just press shift + scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling

Just fixed this now by altering "general.autoScroll" in Firefox's about:config [on Kubuntu 13.04] to "true" [double-click it to toggle].

Now middle-drag works (press and hold down mousewheel, drag for direction of scroll).
