Scrolling through that landing page felt a lot smoother & snappier than I would've expected for a page looking like that.

It's clever, but honestly I don't care how smooth it is. Scrolling should simply scroll a view up or down a page. Not invoke animation. We already have established UX patterns for playing media, slowing it down, speeding it up, randomly seeking through it.

So what would you suggest to use to move the animation forward?

isn't the point that it's an animation library showcasing what's possible?

good point, I read it as about websites in general but in this case why not.
