Most excellent, but the music needs to fade-in and the ride should end with a ding.

On iOS, tap the top of the screen to automatically scroll to the top.
And is frustratingly, conspicuously missing in Android. Every time I switch to my Android tablet, it's becomes a hugely missing piece for any content consumption app that scrolls.
I think I read here on HN that Apple holds a patent for that functionality.

#53A 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.

Yeah, I wish there were a way to scroll to the bottom too, i.e., double-tap the top of the screen/bar. It would come in handy quite frequently for me.

#56There's a slight pause between when you click and the elevator starts rising.
Just like a real elevator!

#57It’s funny how sites used to play music all the time and now people are on the phone with the FBI to report any site with audio
It's a funny thing. The Gemini people are so about a retro take on the web without any media you don't explicitly click on, but even twenty years ago, most of the history of the web involved media playing.
(Mind, everyone got sick of unwarned, auto-playing media.)

#58Why that audio? Scared, I could have spilled some fine coffee!
Go easier on the fine coffee, then.

Oh THAT'S what that's supposed to be. I was always wondering why my viewport jumps all over the place unprompted.

I miss the whimsy of the old web. I suspect even the folks who participated in that whimsy and now turn their nose up at a site with an odd design, or sound are to blame. Whimsy is still out there to some extent but just not as prevalent.
In case anyone wants to sniff around for some, there's some left in personal sites, often with an explicitly nostalgic vibe: https://yesterweb.org/webring/members.html https://www.kickscondor.com http://tetrageddon.com/ wild net art projects
kickstcondor has a cool art style, but from my understanding it isn't exactly a personal site, given it's run by multiple people pretending to be a single person, who actually are doing this for work at Meta / Facebook: https://usesthis.com/interviews/kicks.condor/
I hadn't heard of some of these other ones, and they look cool, thanks for sharing!
