so disable it in mobile. this is an awesome library I've ben using for months now inside of scrollkit.com. Makes it easy for our users to create parallax effects like those on websites all over the web (which often don't work on mobile).
Thanks Alex for putting this out there and saving me a lot of time and work.
structured data is actually something i'm really into. what sort of metadata or tags do you think might be useful to add in automatically? i don't want to make the user do any more work than necessary.
these are the ideas behind scroll kit and i'm glad you agree with them. but we'd be some pretty shitty hackers if we just talked about them and weren't trying to actually DO something to change things.
Absolutely. We seek to solve the problems we see in the world through technology.
I feel your message would be more honest if you went for an approach like WordPress did: with an open-source tool. You make money by providing a hosting platform for the less technically inclined.
And think about it. Wordpress actually did revolutionize publishing.
Nothing, but calling it a movement aimed to fix broken publishing when it's just another walled garden that will disappear at the first buyout offer is disingenuous.
To clarify a bit: I am annoyed not by what the product is, but by the way it's marketed.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we're definitely still tweaking the design and some of these issues are just things we haven't gotten to yet (3 person team - we're hiring!).
We did have the toolbar vertically-aligned before, but found that it got in people's way a lot more when they were trying to design the page.
Also, I'm kate@scrollkit.com if there's anything else you come across, this stuff is super helpful for us.
We're a tool for people to make webpages without using a template, so they can start from scratch with a totally blank canvas. You can see the sort of things people are making here: http://www.scrollkit.com/s/I6QWRuK/
Scrolling through those -- I don't know if I should be impressed or not: how much effort are these to make? -- I saw one that doesn't render well for me:
(on an old version of Chromium, 6.0.472.63 - for some reason I am browsing on a stable Debian, but the rendering of css/tables on that version of Chromium seems pretty solid).
Aside from uncertainty, I did have a positive impression: these are pages that aren't instrumented with cruft around the edges, and that makes a huge difference.
