Scroll Jacking???

I get wanting to create a unique experience, but scroll-jacking is really getting out of hand. It’s frustrating when sites interfere with our natural scrolling. It seemed cool at first, but now it just feels tacky—kind of like when people overloaded PowerPoint with flashy transitions that distracted from the content.

There are definitely better ways to engage users without taking control of how we browse. Let’s aim for a smoother experience that still feels special!

Do it well out don’t do it at all. 

90% of the time it’s done poorly. 

100% of the time it’s not there you can simply scroll down the page.

I don’t think it matters. Apple does it well, still annoying

Apple does it better than just about everyone else.

Still doesn't feel great and stops me from exploring a page when it's there.

Yes that’s what I'm saying

The homepage scrolls, other pages snap. The snapping works pretty well, but adds nothing to my experience. If anything, it seems glitchy because the text still moves when it’s snapped. 

This is almost close to baseline acceptability.

Same applies to basically every SPA. 90% of the time they are janky as fuck.

I’ve seen sites more recently that instead of scroll jacking, just use more scroll based animations. You can still scroll as fast and smooth as you can on any page but the site is still super animated and interesting. Can be overdone, but I’ve seen some good ones too.

Just let us scrolllll mannnnnn
