The site looks quite laggy on my phone, and moving around feels janky. Could it be the Javascript that caused this?

Hey! I believe it's the globe animation, it uses a very simple stripped down version of webgl & threejs (based on the lib: https://cobe.vercel.app/)

Gonna think about how I can optimize that further! Thanks for the headsup!

I think you should get rid of that stuff. I was compiling some el scripts in the background and surfing around just fine and got to your page and it starting taking a couple of seconds to respond to mouse clicks until closing the page, same for both Brave and Firefox (most recent versions on both) on windows 10. I'd give benefit of a doubt since you're doing a new service but most people wouldn't come back if that happened to their machine.

FYI, I'm on an absolute beast of a machine and my browser locked up while trying to view that page. When I mean beast, I mean beast.

Oh nooo :( what's the specs of your computer? I'm gonna try and optimize this further tonight!
