I saw Paul Irish tweet this [0] a few days back. Hopefully this doesn't come off as too negative, but I disagree with it being a "beautiful web experience". I tried it on my Nexus 5X and it's not a smooth experience, and that's with Chrome on a high-tier phone that isn't even a year old. With Firefox for Android, my default mobile browser, it seems to struggle even more.

With that said, I think it's an impressive demo. I'd love to look over the unminified source.

It's worth noting that it doesn't appear to load properly if you're using uBlock Origin; I had to toggle it off for the demo to work.

Nexus 5x is not a high tier phone, but an entry level phone. Mine constantly lagged just using Facebook, fb messenger, and Snapchat.

The 6p is the high tier one.


I'm running it on a 5X and it ran just fine.


It runs fine on my S5...


doesn't run fine on my S5 mini (firefox)


Well, I'm in Chrome. If only mobile browsers had some sort of debugging tool, so we could see why...
