I got three slides in and the "Swooshing!" was driving me nuts. I'm sure the content is fine, and the presentation is simply gorgeous.

For me ... unusable.

Edit: In the end, at the end, I found the PDF. It seems a little light on content, but I guess I'm not the audience. Not sure who the audience would be, though.

At the end you can download a PDF. I must say I prefer that over the slow web page.

To be honest I always leave a page immediately if it's way too fancy, especially when stuff starts moving and fading, I simply hate it.

Same here, page up/down almost works, but misses text, gave up.

I read the PDF, it looks great but it doesn't really contain that much information. It's all very abstract, which is fine since it's a booklet, but it doesn't offer much in how to go deeper into it.

Nice idea, however the readability/contrast...

Another fine Example of we cant even do Web Pages, let alone Web apps.

On Safari, simple scrolling makes the content unreadable.

many of the examples are based from this site https://www.complexity-explorables.org/ if you're looking for additional examples.

Disabling JS helps.

Turn off JS, fixed :)
