TinyPod – Apple Watch case with scroll wheel

What a fun and cool idea on such a horrid web page. I am curious what it can do, but whatever is going on is illegible and busted for me. I literally couldn't read any text on the left half of the page.

I managed to scroll down to a price and for what appears to be a tech toy $80 isn't the worst price, people burn more on a 3d only to make 1 toy boat that doesn't float then stuff it in a closet.

EDIT - Why the rollercoaster of upvotes and downvotes?

Their page is busted, the toy seems neat. If you are downvoting can you explain why? Do you disagree about the toy? Did the webpage work for you?

I absolutely loved the page. Had a lot of fun scrolling up and down and thought it was cleverly designed. Similar, but better, than what Apple does on their own pages.

I suppose there is some novelty to this sort of thing. I have already had all that drained away years ago when this single all in one scrolling thing was a big fad.

I never really liked this all-in-one scroll capturing pages, they violate so many user expectations. But I don't complain unless they are actually broken, others reported weird flashing, I am reporting bad Z-order and bad responsiveness.

Then you’re not experiencing the bugs that some others are experiencing.

There are lots of things wrong with that page, but I didn't expect getting dizzy, motion sickness was going to be one of them.

I guess it's my fault for putting up with such a garbage website because I was curious enough about the product...

Firefox for Android here, it's a strobing mess. I have to purposely and very slowly scroll and wait for frames/images(?) to load in order to get any kind of cohesive experience/information out of the site. I think the product is really neat and I love the idea, but the site is insufferable.

clearly built on a macbook with smooth scrolling. My mouse has a discrete scroll-wheel -- it snaps to the next position -- it makes this site a stuttering, jittery mess.

Yeah, page is busted for me also, super janky, images flashing in and out.

Firefox on macOS
