Wait, I have to hold my phone how in order to see the div? ಠ_ಠ

The same way Steve Jobs said to hold the iPhone.

I assume you have to be facing the server...

I mean, this could have applications, if you need to be facing a certain direction to read the content.

While the Silicon Valley is merely a figurative Mecca for all things tech, Apple could require people to be facing Cupertino if you want to watch a WWDC stream :D

Aww, looks like the magnetometer web API was abandoned: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Magnetomete...

This might actually be useful as some people do their maintenance facing either Jerusalem or Mecca.

It's easy, you just need to hold your phone such that your eyes are pointed directly at the ads as they scroll up and down the screen. Thank you for consuming content.

position: hyperfixed;

So the content falls down at 10 m/s^2 unless you're falling alongside it.

But the problem is, you can never quite catch up to it without a rocket.

No, you can also take your clothes off and throw them upward with sufficient force.

I think that I saw somebody take your advice about five hours ago at the beach.

And running to counter earth rotation...

Translations? Not far enough, got to include rotations: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_orie...

(And yes, CSS can rotate around all three axes, so you could make a div that resists rotating your device in addition to resisting translation...)

Stop giving them ideas! :(

I've actually kind of wanted something like that.

Sometimes there is no size setting that will get the text lines on a page to fit horizontally without making the text too small to read. Making it large enough to read means lots of left and right scrolling which is annoying.

A mode where moving the phone sideways scrolls the text at a matching rate so that the experience is similar to reading a page with a magnifying glass might be handy.

Most people would rather lines to be broken up and wrapped around than to have to walk around the room to read. Do you often find yourself reading photographs of stone tables or something?

Why would you have to walk? You would be moving the phone back and forth by less than the width of a page.

Wrapping is fine on some material, but when there are tables it can be very annoying.
