#22A very cute bit of coding. But: I've always wondered who uses these "back to the top" buttons, and why? Until quite recently I hardly ever had reason to go back to the top of the page—I was much more likely to click a link or click the back button—and if I did a quick tap of the home key or flick of the touchscreen usually did the trick. Conveniently, both gestures work even if you've not gotten all the way down to t…
On iOS, tap the top of the screen to automatically scroll to the top.
Except on AMP pages or on weird custom front ends. Long love plain html and css. Please don’t override the platform default scroll acceleration either!

This also works in most apps, unless they’re using some weird nonstandard UI (which is, perhaps surprisingly, less common on iOS than on macOS). And it works with Reachability. Neither of which are especially discoverable, but super handy if you know about them.

#26Why that audio? Scared, I could have spilled some fine coffee!

It’s elevator music. Relax and enjoy the ride
Oh but you don't understand! They had to take their earbuds out. Clearly this is a malicious site and should be treated as such! The volume, after all. Yhoiseth, the volume.
