We're not expecting anything, we're scrolling ;)

Thank you so much for your feedback ;) I really appreciate it! And yes, that's the goal, to criticise endless scrolling on social media. Thank you for your kind words.

Ahahah ;) Thank you very much for the feedback, and I'm delighted to have wasted your time ;)

Sorry ;) Yes, recording is only possible on mobile devices, because otherwise it's far too easy to reach long distances. It's very easy to bypass scrolling on a workstation! And yes, some people have scrolled for an hour and a half :P

I'll make a note of that and try to fix it, thank you.

That's a fair point.

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 good old days! Still on iPhone, but no more jailbreaking... too restrictive.

It's just standard JS numbers (IEEE-754 doubles), not BigInt.

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.

Yes, yes, I know, but the site is designed for mobile devices and for the real pleasure of scrolling, not just cheating. Just for fun ;)

Looking forward to your next Zoom meeting ;) That's strange about the cut-off sentences. What device are you using? I'll check it out, because I'm not having any problems on my end. Thank you so much for the great feedback, I really appreciate it!

Ahahah. But it's more for your thumb, on mobile.
