Around 4km the messages start to repeat and doesn’t always make sense in context. As I was approaching 4km it said I was nearing 1km.

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 scroll

Tech: • vanilla JS (infinite scroll + iOS momentum fixes) • simple PHP backend + JSON leaderboards • FR/EN versions, mobile-first

If you try it: best on a phone, save your distance, and tell me what broke or felt off. Ideas for new milestones/punchlines welcome!
