    vibeaccounting explained by llm and posted to vibecoded page which leverages claude-authored horrendous page scroll hijack, no thanks.

    to add insult to injury: "author" learned nothing, and there's nothing to learn.

    The smooth scroll / animation or whatever it is makes it so hard to read / use

      I take a small bit of joy in disabling JS for these sites. The content still loads just fine. The scroll jacking degraded quality for no reason.

      Why would anyone who actually wants me to read their site do this?

        They didn't, they asked an LLM to create a webpage, and it did, and they didn't notice that particular bit of sloppery, any more than people who post AI-generated memes on Facebook don't notice that their niece has six fingers now.

        Sadly they never do, UI just gets worse and worse. Even before LLMs became as prevalent, and even after. ;)

      agree. it also breaks the gesture to navigate back, for some reason. (macos thing)

    Just coming here to ask any person from moniepoint to remove your "smooth scroll" as overriding any OS native behavior for something custom for the sake of subjective "beautiful" is destroying users habits, which make it immediately a very bad design. I loaded the site, saw the scroll, closed the page.

    I won't read your content, you have no credibility to my eyes because of your horrible UX.

    This site scrolls at a snail's pace.

      What OS/browser are you using?

      I'm using Chrome on Windows and it scrolls normally.

        I'm using chrome on windows (using mouse scroll wheel), that page is super slow with an annoying easing function.
        • criddell5 hours ago
          I'm using the scroll wheel as well (Logitech Anywhere MX) and it seems like it scrolls like any other site. If I spin the wheel it zips to the bottom of the page in under a second.

    Fwiw it scrolls fine on Android.

    The underlying thesis is interesting too as a financial pitch to increase traceability. Some subtle digs at the .. less honest methodologies sometimes used in front of investors.

    This reads like someone took two conventional non-AI reports about (1) different teams’ conflicting viewpoints of the same data; (2) deterministic traceability that is hardly remarkable, and asked Claude to merge the two reports and shoehorn some disjoint AI narratives into it. And did a very bad job of it. What the hell is this incoherent nonsense? AI writing aggregate SQL queries (“what is this month’s revenue by entity?”) is completely reliable because every tx is traceable, but wouldn’t be reliable if every tx is not traceable, seriously?

    You lost me when you started talking about seeking money and what sells an idea to VCs, not value creation. If your goal is the money and not the product, ypu've already lost.

      I get what you are trying to say, but that is obviously not the case in reality.

      We are on HN, which is hosted by YC. Their entire business model is grooming would be C-Suites to tailor their products to appeal to potential VC's.

      Depends their goal, the current VC landscape isn’t really value focused, unfortunately

    I wanted to read this but the scroll really turned me off. Reader Mode FTW
