The punchlines are there mostly to make the empty scroll a bit more entertaining while you go down. But you're right that nothing really scrolls by in the traditional sense.
The idea is more about measuring how far your thumb travels than about browsing actual content.
The distance is accumulated in millimeters, so even if someone somehow scrolled hundreds of kilometers we'd still be far below the 2^53 integer precision limit.
So precision loss shouldn't realistically happen.
It converts scrolling into a measurable distance.
The more you scroll, the more the site reminds you you're still scrolling.
Why: • a playful take on our scroll addiction • tiny, fast, no ads; just scroll
Tech: • vanilla JS (infinite scroll + iOS momentum fixes) • simple PHP backend + JSON leaderboards • FR/EN versions, mobile-first
If you try it: best on a phone, save your distance, and tell me what broke or felt off. Ideas for new milestones/punchlines welcome!
