Tell Claude to fix the scroll-blocker on the codeyam.com landing page.

This seems to be a bad practice LLMs have internalized; there should be some indication that there’s more content below the fold. Either a little bit of the next section peeking up, or a little down arrow control.

I vibe coded a marketing website and hit the same issue.

OP again - do you mind sharing what browser you're using? I'm looking into this now and am seeing a scroll bar on Chrome and Safari currently, so am wondering if it's a browser-specific bug or something else. Would love to figure out a fix and appreciate any additional info you can share on what you're seeing.

I’m on mobile Safari, but it’s the same on Chrome on my laptop.

The scroll bar behavior is an OS-level setting. The default in MacOS is to not show scroll bars unless you’re actively scrolling.

If you’re using an input device that doesn’t support gestures, or you changed the setting, you’ll see them always.

Got it, that’s really helpful. Thank you! Will work on making the content below the fold more visible on the site, and appreciate the help here.

I’m realizing we might be talking past each other. By “scroll-blocker” I meant a visual design that hides the fact that there’s more content down the page. It’s not literally preventing scrolling.

Here’s a decent writeup on the problem and some design options: https://uxdesign.cc/dear-web-designer-let-s-stop-breaking-th...

Oh yeah that's really bad to not have any hints that there's more info. I suspect many people are going to hit that page and think there's nothing useful to see. (It's also partly the fault of browsers for not showing scroll bars, but that's the default so you need to design for it)

Good point and feedback, thanks!

OP here, thanks for sharing the feedback. I'll investigate and good to know! I think this actually might be human error (my interpretation of the designs) rather than Claude's fault FWIW.
