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 disappointing" ?? another example of the HN changes around here.

I think you misunderstand what I'm trying to say.

What I say is that it's very disappointing that this demo goes 95% of the way to create something AWESOME, but those 5% it goes short are very stark and unfortunate. It's like a brand new Ferrari with a scratch. Wouldn't that be disappointing? Even though it's a Ferrari which is awesome.

The problem is that feelings are 95% positive and 5% negative, but my comment is 50/50. So it may seem that I'm being negative, when in fact I'm 95% positive. Hence those missing 5% are so disappointing.

Great job though, it's really neat (this goes without saying...).

Edit: The reason I talk about the negative is because it can be made better. I find it less useful to talk about positive because it's already good, so there's nothing to be done.

I think shurcooL's comment probably came across differently than s/he intended it. I think it was intended not as an expression of disapproval for the author, but rather as a description of how it feels as a user to scroll to the edge and not see it react in the satisfying way anticipated. Interpreted that way, it's fine constructive feedback. But it's easy to see how it would be taken as a self-entitled complaint.

Yep, that was my intention.

Here's how you can say the same in a more positive manner:

> This is neat, and it would be even better if there was feedback when…

To keep up the hacker spirit, I find it amusing that the words "but" and "and" are logically equivalent (i.e. they both are representations of the logical ∧ operator), just with different connotations. :)

(Edit: It's actually a social hack to say your negatively toned "but" phrase with a positive "and" instead.)

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.

Technically doesn't this imply they've already published it and put it in the public domain?

the meaningless boosting around here is fucking weird - negative feedback is crucial to stuff getting anywhere. calling anything besides praise 'disappointing' is the best way to create a completely ossified creative field, i.e. the complete opposite of the 'hacker' ethic worshipped round here. besides, this guy isn't even being particularly critical
