Please remove the custom scrolling effect on your website. Ruins the examples.

Now I understand why I got many complaints about the speed. I believe I’ve fixed the issue. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Not fixed in mobile (Chrome). Normal scroll jumps to the end. Needed to meticulosity slow scroll.

Does this really have no types? How can something like this be usable in 2024 with no types?

Not everybody cares about, uses or wants to use typescript.

Sure but as a library author, your audience is greatly diminished if you don’t provide some typings in 2024. More than half the professional Javascript programmers use Typescript these days.

Some fixes to consider other than scrolling mentioned:

- Super thin fonts on bright background makes the docs very hard to read.

- Inaccurate scrollbar that readjusts every time scrolling hits beyond the scrollbar indicates. E.g https://targetj.io/docs/timeLoop.html

Enhancements to consider:

- Make the demos and especially the demos editable.

I think what I love most about websites is if they have extremely fancy animations which artificially delay actions and confuse the user. Really awesome to see people spending time, not on how information can be clearly and plainly communicated, but how to obfuscate that information and bury it under eye candy. Nothing upsets me more than a plain website, where nothing moves, unless I scroll, and clicking gets me to where I want, without whirling things over my screen.

Oh, absolutely! Who needs efficient, user-friendly design when you can have a digital circus? I mean, why should we prioritize clarity and usability when we can dazzle users with a labyrinth of animations and loading screens? After all, who doesn't love a good game of "Where's the Content?" every time they visit a website?

From the Hackernews guidelines: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."

Someone spend two years on something, something that could be very useful for someone. Your comment kind of shits on all of that without providing anything useful for the creator of this tool, or anyone else.

I honestly do not believe this should exist, it is a bad idea and anyone using it will use it to make a worse website.

Of course I do realize that this might be hurtful to the individual who has spent time on this, but that doesn't change my opinion one bit. Animations on the web are already overused, having a framework dedicated to making them even more overused will make websites even worse. I absolutely think that OP should spend his time on something else.
