This is the first time I haven’t hated scroll hijacking. That was actually really smooth.

Part of why it is less offensive is it's not actually hijacking our scrolling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43572887

Scroll hijacking is when I try to scroll normally but the page overrides my distance and velocity.

		It definitely feels “heavy” on mobile Safari. The animation is buttery smooth, but the little space station thing doesn’t rotate as quickly as I feel it should based on my scroll velocity. I feel like I’m alone in not liking it. The technical accomplishment is undeniably impressive, and the author deserves serious kudos for that, but I really wish websites wouldn’t do this sort of thing. It’s far less usable than just having some static tables.

I’m not sure that was scroll hijacked. It all moved at the right speed

I think they just measure the scrolling and drive the animations with it. Maybe that's what you mean by hijacking.
