There's no javascript on the page at all (with the exception of two IE-compat scripts). The CSS also looks tame enough - a data uri, -webkit-font-smoothing and one Google web font are the only vaguely notable things. Could be a browser bug on your system? (I see no lag of any kind)
I get the lag too. MBP 15" Late 2014.
Looks cool, but— The website lags on my laptop. Scrolling lags. Why does scrolling lag? How ? What's going on with the internet these days...

which appears to add a 'gesturestart' event, and a weird conditional comment at the bottom that shouldn't appear for non-IE, but whose condition is to explicitly run the function defined in that script in non-IE browsers...

From my own experience: Sometimes installing an entire programming language just to use one tool is not worth the time I could possibly waste just trying to figure out how to get it working (assuming it works). Instead looking for alternatives built around tech that's already available in my system makes more sense to me, because of a higher chance of familiarity and the benefit of less time possibly wasted.

> Sometimes installing an entire programming language just to use one tool is not worth the time I could possibly waste just trying to figure out how to get it working (assuming it works). That's why I would love to see more Docker containers and docker-compose.yaml files for tools shared on HN. A Docker container for this would be super simple to build using an official Ruby Docker container and it would save so muc…
I'll be honest I've not been keeping up with Docker. It shows, right?

This is why I advocate that software authors package their software for a variety of OS's in their native format. Yes, technically anyone can use Ruby gems or Python eggs or wheels or whatever Go calls their packages, but practically if I can apt-get/brew/emerge/rpm your package, I don't care what language it is written in. It is more effort but it makes a big difference in adoption IMO.
Just fyi, but go doesn't have packages (in this context). Just native binaries with no dependencies.
Looks cool! Any non-ruby alternatives with similar features?
Why?
The ones I've tried have been dependant on a specific version of ruby. So you have to work through that. I'm not a resident of the ruby ecosystem, and I don't want to figure out the "why didn't you just" method of managing that. As the saying goes, it's hard to remember your objective was to drain the swamp when you're up to your ass in alligators.
IIRC, vagrant just includes the version of ruby it depends on. Or maybe it just includes a ruby in case you don't have one. I like and use vagrant.

The "stylesheets/styles.css" file contains the following rule at the beginning:
body {
...
background: url('data:image/png;base64,...') fixed;
}
