#2Clicked because I’m in the market for a new razor, stayed for a well-designed and surprisingly passionate presentation about scroll management on websites (UI scrolls, not magic ones)

#3God I hate websites like that
Reminds me of the 90's cringe trend of having gifs and audio and crap everywhere.. But at least those still had some html and could potentially be semantic.
This modern cringe trend seems to have abandoned any hope of semantic web + all of the original ideas behind it.

Me too, I don't care how performant or consistent it is, it still feels clunky to me. If I'm reading primarily text content just give me a regular article format with a regular scrollbar. If your content needs fancy animations and transitions and stuff you should be making a video.

My first thought on interacting was "Thanks, I hate it."

#6It feels a little like we're going back to 2005-era deviantart "trendwhore" style design. Big text, numbers with leading zeroes (01, 02, etc.) for some reason, lots of line art, artificially shaded 3D stuff. I don't mind it. No pixel font typography, though -- certainly not with today's high res displays.

#7"Smoothing the scroll pulls users into the flow of the experience that feels so substantial that they forget they’re navigating a web page."
That's some good sentencing.

#8"NORMALIZE ALL YOUR USER INPUT"
except for arrow keys, page up/down and spacebar

The main thing I hate about all of these is how low the information density is. I like to scan over dense text to see if I'm interested, but all of these try to force feed you information bit by bit at the speed they think is right for you.

#10It's not actually all that smooth. Oh, I'm sure on a top-of-the-line M2 Macbook Pro, running Safari or Chrome, it's like butter. But on a slightly less capable (Core i5U, 24GB RAM) Thinkpad, running Firefox, I can hear the fans spin up and the scroll feels a bit laggy. Certainly not as smooth as scrolling a relatively static website, such as Hacker News.
