I like it, but the demo doesn't really do it justice. I would slow everything down a bit (missed most of the transformations on my first pass, they happened way too quickly), and maybe work on styling a bit more.

#13(I ask this as a Mac owner), but I have to wonder how many of the "Wow, Awesome" posts come from Mac users with proper smooth scrolling. It's just awkward on a Windows machine. I was hoping for something parallaxy like Github's 404 pages.
I guess I'm on a mouse now, but even on my last laptop, the "smooth scrolling" was the regular 20px jump scrolling but with smoothing between jumps which would seem to make this still fairly jumpy.

#14It's a neat demo of some very nice capabilities, but let us please not go back to the Flash era circa 2002 where designers tried to make their navigation as nauseating as possible.
Or put another way, its worth remembering that just because you can incorporate all of these effects does not mean you should. Some designs can be very disorienting to some people.

Works smooth for me (Laptop, i7 Quad, Win 7, Firefox 14)

I think the parent is referring to the actual scrolling mechanic of the browser with a standard mouse-wheel rather than a performance issue.

I didn't think of that - I actually have a Logitech mouse where I can switch between the clicking scrolling and the freewheeling.

Even then, in Windows, you can't scroll pixel by pixel can you? I'm not sure if you're familiar with Apple touchpads, but I've never seen anything emulate their ability to scroll at literally continuous increments. Even with my Logitech (that also switches) "free wheeling" still has a minimum increment. It's configurable, but it's just "jumping" relative to the Apple Trackpad mechanic.
