Simple is always better, especially if you are a small team. For example, there is no reason to scroll jack the site. It makes it extremely difficult to navigate and at least for myself, I immediately close the tab if scroll jacking is in place.
Let your product speak for itself, don't over complicate things or you will lose user confidence.
Indeed. Scroll hijacking is simply the worst, honestly.
I can appreciate that they tried to make it flow better and present the ideas in a context, but it's a lot of complexity to tell me about a product. It's also risky, because now it doesn't work and I can only assume other overly engineered thought processes have been applied to the product itself.
