I can't say anything about the content of this blog. It was horribly laggy to scroll on mobile device. And by horribly laggy, I mean like aunt's 1986 vacation slide show on a projector while having dry cookies and tasteless off brand earl grey.
I'm sorry if it sounds rude but I had to bring this on out in the open. What even runs under the hood on that blog..
Even if the effect didn't lag, there's almost no added benefit to it. The title is cut off, and the description is even worse.
If the author wanted to, they could have done something like this with no scripts, minimum effort, and probably zero lag.
(If OP's website chucked for you, I'm curious whether this demo is seamlessly smooth. It is for me.)
It's a bit funny that it's completely at odds with how they describe their goals (emphasis mine):
I didn't have any problem on my Android phone
It wasn't horribly laggy on my Pixel but it definitely was less performant than a page like this should be.
Holy shit, i thought i was gonna have a seizure first time i scrolled
Worked fine for me, but I block ads and trackers on my home network so that probably helped.
Like its locked to 10fps
runs perfectly fine on my laptop with firefox
Yea for me too, it appears to be something we the title header following your scroll. It's super smooth just until it tries to pin it to the top.
Reader mode works until I realised that they did explain the pictures, so just referenced text I didn't see.
Not a performance problem. My guess is, they (poorly) emulate native scrolling via JS on mobile. Probably for some progress feature or something.
JS disabled, scrolling works. Though it was only slightly laggy for me.
Unfortunately all of the code blocks are loaded after-the-fact with JS for some asinine reason (highlighting I'd understand... but why the actual text?), so disabling JS also disables all the code snippets on the page.
Definitely a performance problem, no HW acceleration on PC produces the same insanely stuttery scroll.
