I know a few doom scrollers for whom this would be incredibly tempting. The video looked like it requires a lot of rotations per screen tick. Can that be adjusted?

Now I am wondering if you can connect a bluetooth mouse to a phone to achieve the same effect, albeit in a less convenient package.

Every band of builders in a garage needs a variety of classes, but at least one Doomscroller. While everyone else's attention is down, in, focused, the Doomscroller looks outward.

They are the teams eyes and ears, continuously maintaining the indespensible information grounding signal. A streaming infinite scrolling HTML connection to the garage, from the real world.

If this was implemented as a Bluetooth mouse with just a scroll wheel, wouldn’t you get support on all recent operating systems for free?

I thought that when I started this thing. Turns out, every device implements slightly different flavors of USB-HID in their drivers. It's a complete shitshow under the hood. I'm trying to get iOS working, but it's so opaque compared to Android. I have achieved limited functionality with iOS, but it's not the buttery smooth action I can get on PC or Android.

Site doesn't even work on Android.

It's not responsive, but it does work.

You just need to first click on the scroller element and then you can start dragging it. And start by dragging up, not down. Otherwise the refresh might override the interaction

Just clone the scroll messaging from any old generic that works already. MiM for the easy win.
