I usually don't comment on stuff like this, but _wow_. This is one of the worst scrolling I've seen on a website in modern days

Coupled with a red square that follows the mouse pointer is the one-two knockout of annoying mouse UX.

I also came to comment the same thing. I cannot believe someone made a design choice to have it implemented that way with a straight face...

Reminds me when I get rabbit-holed on something I think is really cool, spend the day implementing it, step back and think "wow, I've really done something cool here".

And then wake up the next morning and realise it's shit and needs to be thrown away.

Yeah it feels like a way to troll HN at this point. Add a scroll script and get angry upvotes.
