#12One of the worst cases of overusing parallax scrolling I've ever seen. Edit: parallax/tacky, call it what you wish. I was thinking of this while writing the comment: http://prinzhorn.github.com/skrollr/ (note: every great thing can be ruined my misuse, I like that library.)
I agree, but people really should expand on why when they say things like this. I can only imagine that this website was designed by someone using a Macbook (or Magic Trackpad), without realising that not everyone can scroll easily with two fingers, which is extremely short sighted. I have a MBP myself, and I actually enjoyed scrolling through the site, but when I tested it on my Windows PC the animation was jerky an…
On a windows pc it works real smooth with the mouse wheel scroll or mouse wheel click plus mouse moved under mouse wheel clicked target.
Do you have a mouse wheel on your windows pc mouse ?
Also, that mac must really be awesome because I don't get any parallax scrolling on windows or linux.
Re: New radio blogging startup displays scrolling tutorial as homepage
#13very neat UI.
I personally found it terrible. It didn't completely fit in the small window I opened it in at first (the "scroll down" text was not visible), and when I made it full screen, most of the screen was just white (and the flying elements weren't even hidden outside the actual view area). If you scroll it with the mouse wheel, or spacebar, it just looks ugly. It didn't even advice you to scroll in the right way.

Depends on browser and mouse settings (smooth scrolling on/off).
However the animation and rendering is just very slow for me on Chrome + quad, about 5-10 FPS. I won't even try on Android.
This could have been greatly improved by using CSS3 animations, there's even a drop-in jquery library that makes this an easy fix: http://ricostacruz.com/jquery.transit/
With that said, the effect is overused and tacky. Message could have been delivered more quickly and elegantly.
I felt as if visiting that link was just a waste of time, like watching an old movie I've seen and looking for changes in subtitles.

What Windows PC mouse? Desktops have barely accounted for 20% of computer sales since 2010. We're all on laptops.

I, for one, use a PC mouse with my MacBook Pro.

Sorry you did not like the effect but thanks for the jquery library!
I started using a few parallax plugins, then looked at the great http://johnpolacek.github.com/superscrollorama/ but finally ended up doing my own sauce.
Next time, I'll use your link

Oh so you just assume that every laptop user uses the trackpad? Looking at the office I see 4 Windows users with mouses and a macbook user with a mouse. So, yeah the mouse.

Don't put words in my mouth.
The parent post made a comment about not having two finger swipe. The comment I replied to asked about the scroll wheel on his mouse, which assumes he has one. I replied that most people are on laptops; laptops do not require mice, so it's not a given that he has a mouse at all. Saying most people are on laptops is not the same as saying nobody has a mouse.
