Scrolling through your landing page on mobile was an awful experience. I both had my scroll speed reduced to stop in the middle of sections then was zipped by the small amount of content.

Looks flashy but isn't functional and definitely needs some polish. Not that I would ever be happy with this sort of interface. Just stick the text on the page and let me scroll like every other page on the web.

Well that sucks to hear! I'd be really interested in knowing what device you're on, and whether or not you have things like battery saving on.

I really can't envision a future where every single article would be made in a tool like Instorier - plain text is enough for most things, and I hate it myself when pages scroll-hog. Some experiences may have something to gain from being able to synchronize scroll with e.g. drawing a journey taken on a map, or being able to highlight and zoom in on statues or buildings as a story is told.

Same experience here on mobile, where scrolling vertically tends to skip sections.

I had the same issue on a website with scroll-snapping a few months ago and fixed with the following CSS applied to each section:
