fun scroll

An internet that doesn't want to keep you. Play, waste some time, then leave.

chapter one · the trap

doomscroll.

The most common thing we do online. Thumb up, thumb up, thumb up. For hours.

you don't choose what you see.

A machine does. Then it sells what it learned about you to whoever pays.

4 words.

That's the whole vocabulary you're allowed: like, comment, save, share.

no way out.

Links to the outside get punished. Leaving is the one thing the feed can't allow.

and you remember nothing.

Hours later, nothing stays. Except the rage-bait.

what if scrolling was fun again?

FUNSCROLL is a way of making websites that move in every direction, that have an ending, and that invite you to leave. No goals, no metrics. Closer to art than to a feed.

eight words to start (scroll fast, hover, click) frolic whimsical float it just floats. nobody asked it to do anything. dance move → say image think
you are now in a slowscroll

This part scrolls slowly.

Your thumb moves. The page takes its time.

Nothing is chasing you here.

Time online can feel like something other than a blur.

Okay. You can speed up again.

some people are already building it.

Behind this door: one of the sites that inspired FUNSCROLL. Which one? No idea. It opens somewhere else, because leaving is allowed here.
