A useless website that measures how far you scroll (mobile-first) (futile.ch) 1 points by dolin_ch 9mo ago ↗ HN
[–] dolin_ch 9mo ago ↗ I built a deliberately useless site: it measures how far you scroll and lets you save your “feat”.Why: • a playful take on our scroll addiction • tiny, fast, no ads; just scrollTech: • vanilla JS (infinite scroll + iOS momentum fixes) • simple PHP backend + JSON leaderboards • FR/EN versions, mobile-firstIf you try it: best on a phone, save your distance, and tell me what broke or felt off. Ideas for new milestones/punchlines welcome!
