It looks like the lines bend the wrong way. I would expect everything to bend down when I scroll up, but it does the opposite. Very strange.

There is a control in the top right corner that lets you change which way the lines bend.

edit: This does not show up in IE

This is cute. But does it affect readability if the page being scrolled is text?

Cute, in much the same way wobbly windows are cute.

Somewhat odd when scrolling via keyboard, though, since the "force" applied is always fixed.

It's to match where your finger would be when scrolling. On a touch device/mouse using natural scrolling it would go the direction you expect. Using traditional/inverse scrolling does the opposite.

This is neat, but really disappointing that there is no feedback when you're at the top/bottom and try to scroll further. It'd be so natural to have this bouncy effect happen in-place to let you know you've reached the end.

Really freakin' cool, however it feels weird on mobile since there's no momentum scrolling with it. I just stops (and has the jelly effect).

It has momentum for me, when using the trackpad to scroll on OS X.

Cute indeed, but not sure that it's the right era anymore for jelly-looking things ?

Don't forget to patent it and sue everyone who uses it, OP.

suggestion: seems to only be one level of bounciness, and it only applies at the end of the scroll. itd be cool to see the screen morph while the scroll occurs as a function of the velocity of the scroll, and giving a bounce that's appropriate to the change in velocity.
