This is a project I followed a while ago that does this: https://github.com/danfang/me-api In addition to providing you a profile/bio, it can pull in your content from various social media sites into a single central API for you to use.
Did anyone manage to read enough of this to see whether this is more than a "wouldn't it be great if.." idea? Ideas are cheap..
Scrolling: Works for me. Roll the mouse and I get a vertical scroll. Linux whatever, firefox=latest pushed update from whenever
On a laptop without any sort of mouse wheel / scrolling capabilities. It sucks -- pressing space doesn't scroll to the next page. Page up and page down don't work either.
I should add a button and/or keyboard shortcut to disable the horizontal scrolling.
I can't read this because I'm having trouble scrolling to the right. Just me? What's with the annoying horizontal scrolling?
The majority of this scrolling implementation is pure CSS. It's reasonably elegant code, even if I'm not sure that the effect is worth pursuing. I think I like this page more as an engineer than I do as a user. If you disable Javascript, it's a lot more consistent because the Javascript is only there to swap vertical scrolling for horizontal. Without JS it's still horizontal scrolling, but you scroll left/right the s…
It's interesting to me how no one here has objected to the idea stated that "we are all digital sharecroppers."
Do you have qualms with that line? IMHO we provide content for a number of social networks with questionable returns. Yes we have community and can connect on shared beliefs and learn something new but lately it seems that we'd be better off tending to our own spaces and sharing with the larger networks should we choose to do so.
I know we're supposed to be reading something on this page, but the scroll UX is so amazing I don't think anyone's going to be able to look past it. There's no world in which you can: make your website scroll horizontally, disable horizontal scroll, make vertical scrolling actually scroll horizontally and have users be okay with it.
Each push of my mouse wheel moves the content about one character width. (Firefox 71 on Windows)

What's your preferred method of input and platform?
I don't whether this was posted because the submitter has a particular interest in a "personal API", or if it's discussion fodder for "here's how NOT to do a web UI". Seriously, do so few people ever say, "hey, honey, come here for a minute and try something for me..."? (On the off chance that the page author comes to their senses, or a different URL is offered, the current link goes to a page with horizontal scrolli…
I'm gonna be adding a toggle for visitors who wish to do away with the polarizing scrolling.
