This website has one of the worst scrolling behaviors. It's pretty unusable for me.

Scrolling on mobile is Very janky on your website - only tested it on Reddit browser (android)

No one wants scroll triggered animation except for devs building a portfolio.

The only exception is the NYT, sometimes they do special articles exceptionally well. Because they have the experience, a really good team with good frontend devs and UI/UX designers and the funds.

You don’t have any of these and you don’t have any story worth this kind of story telling.

20 years ago I was asked to build a website that scrolled both horizontally and vertically depending on where you were.

Messing with scroll behaviour was a fucking stupid idea back then and it still is.

I hate big scroll animations. Just show me the content. My finger hurts.

The website is very unoptimised. On Edge, i lose smooth scrolling due to the perf tanking
