yeah, I also cannot scroll it with my finger. I had to connect a mouse to my touch screen computer just to scroll the page.
See? If you owned a Knob, you could have used it as a scroll wheel, and you wouldn't have had to connect your mouse! ;)
Sorry for the inconvenience. We've updated the website. Removed the autoplay, scroll should work fine now. I hope it works better now.
As an aside: this is the first time I’ve seen scrolling the page implemented with history. This feels like an anti-pattern; I had to hit back 4 times to return to HN.
Have a nice day
it's already said in this thread, but wow am I impressed with how many things are working against me on this website. 1) scroll is totally hijacked into discrete intervals, those discrete intervals count as page loads (destroying web history and any chance of using the back button), 2) auto-playing media that isn't default-muted that starts with loud music rather than a soft lead-in or voice, 3) and after you trudge…
Why can't I go back? Cool product, but this is the worst webpage I have ever had the privilege of using.

This is a great project. Yes, the website sucks a bit but that can be fixed. Good job !!
Website usability vomit
... sigh ... the back button ... sites that mess with the back button should not be allowed on the internet.

Hey, We didn't expect such huge feedback, and the website was made just for fun without any testing. We know that the webpage is ugly. Moreover, we're hosting it on a limited free Firebase tier. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I’m sorry your getting such a hard time from HN.
I swear there was some startup that raised millions of dollars to do exactly this, but can't remember the name. It could be a YC company. Anyone know?
