The UI is quite slow for me too. (Chrome ... wait 23?!)

24 here, and it's still quite laggy for me on an i7 Macbook Air.

Same. Tried viewing this on my Nexus 10 a little bit ago, and found it nearly unusable.

Just close the "resizer" at the top of the page and it is smooth.

Well it is front paged on HN

I assume Belhor means the UI responsiveness. The :hover transitions are a bit too long for my tastes and it definitely creates a laggy feeling.

Scrolling up and down the page feels a little laggy too (Chrome 24, Win7). Is that a drawback of how the 'responsiveness' is coded?

Going to the URL of the iframe directly is much faster for me: http://groundwork.sidereel.com/home.html

Indeed, went from unusable to smooth on a nexus 7

Thank you all very much for the feedback on this, I wasn't aware of the negative impact the viewport resizer was having on these mobile devices. It is to be expected that iframes would perform poorly on them and I had included a regex to redirect mobile user agents to the home.html page to avoid them having that served up. Perhaps the mobile device detection needs a more reliable method... Any suggestions? :)

That completely made the difference, they should probably consider changing that.
