That site, while beautiful, really frustrated me. I kept clicking to get something to happen, but couldn't. I tried to scroll and each time it would put me back at the top of the page. Let's say that I'm intrigued by the product, but not enough to fight with the site, unfortunately. :(

That sucks, what OS and browser are you using?

OS X Mavericks, Safari

Same thing happened to me.

Safari Version 7.0 (9537.71), OS X 10.9 (13A603)

Screencast: http://i.imgur.com/7uigOMg.gif

Couldn't two-finger scroll, couldn't click the navigation circles, and when I dragged the scrollbar manually it'd snap to the top when I let go.

Agree. Spent a few mins trying to click and play with the logo in the hope that it'll start playing some tunes or do something interactive... Video would have hit the spot

Seems window.scrollTo does not work properly in safari when you kick the layers in to hardware accelerated mode.

I've disabled the snapscrolling now on all Safari versions. Try it now! I think I'll end up disabling it everywhere since people seem not to like it that much :)

We are working on a video! We have one but we felt that it didn't show how cool the app actually is :)

I'll link it here if you would care to give us some feedback on it.

Bought it. Does not seem to work properly with iOS6.1 and iPhone 4s. Hopefully there'll be an update on this!

If you send me an email at johan@theremin.io we can try to sort it out.

Very cool! Apps like these make my phone a beautiful, versatile thing, not to-do lists.

(Hijacked scrolling doesn't work in Safari, fyi)

Possibly related?: scroll down, then up. Before it reaches the top position, it locks up Firefox Aurora (current nightly build). Possibly a bug in Firefox, but those are relatively rare, even in the nightlies.

edit: specifically, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abbuk5ktjpmos7f/Screenshot%202013-... and you have to be scrolling in individual steps (since scrolling has inertia, can push you >1 step).
