Hi,

For mouse only users: there's some arrow buttons on the left and right of the screen that follow the mouse height. So you don't need to move the mouse up and down to the top of the view port.

The keyboard arrow buttons are mainly there to alert people to the fact that you can use the keyboard to control navigation.

For touch screens it has a swipe left/right action to scroll over one column. It's not the best implementation of swipe... but it 'works'. I haven't got it working for touchpad swipes as of yet (eg for mac swipe left/right).

I think the issues that Sam mentioned with scroll wheel scrolling can be overcome and hopefully make scrolling better.

I have an early prototype of controlling the website via the new Joystick API chrome and firefox have implemented. But it's not enabled so far.

cu.

It's certainly a very unusual design. I could imagine horizontal scrolling working, but I think having both horizontal and vertical scrolling is a bad idea - it's too easy to get lost, and I feel like I want to zoom out to get a full overview of the site. It also makes it tricky to use the site with your hand on the mouse, because the scroll wheel only moves you up and down (the arrow buttons at the top are clickable, but I don't want to have to move the mouse up there to move sideways).
