http://worrydream.com was a horrible experience for me. Between the extremely slow scroll-hijacking and disabling of my vim-based scroll events it was a nightmare to try to navigate and I gave up without actually viewing any of the projects. Even using my colleagues hyper scroll wheel gave us a brief chuckle before quitting the page entirely.

Funny enough my first experience with worrydream was without JS, as with most new websites. And it's much better then.

:) I loved it when I first looked at it, but it vandalized itself when I turned JavaScript on.

Holy smokes, that was atrocious. I have no idea what was causing me to flip to different slides, if I'm even getting that terminology correct. But it was just magically happening. I didn't get very far. I think I had to re-navigate to the "bio" page about six times before I gave up.

Perhaps you should start a startup that lists sites friendly for vim-based scroll events.

He didn't argue his point well by bringing up vim, but he does have a point. It loaded very slowly and isn't designed that well.

In general, WWW content should be designed browser/user/agent agnostic way. Better not to assume that everyone is using touch or a mouse to scroll around. Hence, it's not the greatest design.
