Show HN: Add an iPod Wheel to any website with this JavaScript lib
https://www.clickwheeljs.com/
Hey HN! I created a JS lib that mimics the nostalgic experience of scrolling through an iPod click wheel. It’s still a work in progress and not as smooth as I’d like, so I’m planning to refine it. I’d love to get your thoughts and suggestions to make it better!

Once I reach the bottom of the page I can keep rotating of course and the page doesn't scroll further than the bottom. But if I rotate say 100px past the bottom of the screen I need to rotate backwards 100px before the screen moves up again. Basically there's a counter somewhere that needs to freeze once I hit the bottom of the page.

thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look into that.
What are you trying to accomplish with this? This feels terrible with a touchpad and it doesn't feel right at all. Maybe the problem is I never had an iPod.
I did this just for fun, not to be useful. Some people like old things and I'm one of them, I love the nostalgia sensation. For example, I also made https://oldestsearch.com/ which gives me the same sensation
Fine :).
Very cool. Adding the old clickwheel clicks while scrolling would be a nice touch as well.
No worse than cycling the thumb in the YZ dimensions for normal smartphone scrolling!
Thanks,took me back 20 year ago.
