Would love to see this in action. However, when I opened the app on my iPad in Safari, I couldn't scroll down as instructed, and then the app crashed the browser after a few seconds. Is this a known issue?

The site has some issues on tablets, simply as the scroll event doesn’t fire until you stop scrolling, and so the animations don’t trigger continuously like they do on desktop browsers, only when you stop scrolling. It didn’t crash when I tested it though.

Unfortunately, as it’s a side project, I didn’t have time to rectify this (using iScroll or something similar). Would like to find a solution though.

I'm considering founding the People's Scrolling Liberation Front or something like that, to fight to reclaim our rightful ability to scroll from the Javascript Oppressors.

you could join forces with the 'contrast rebellion' & really give them a run for their money!

Is it supposed to scroll? I tried in Safari with no luck. Oh well, not worth my time to invest more time in to learn how to scroll down.

I'd like to make a site like this, where can I go to learn? How do you create a front-end like this?
