Since it seems unlikely that a single scroll gesture passes the threshold, and also the scrollbar thumb probably is invisible (either intentionally or due to the extreme height): maybe an "infinite scroll" paginated stack of virtual lists would be enough? I mean a dumb "load more" implementation that swaps out the main container once you reach the end/start of each "item" (virtual lists themselves)?

If that doesn't help, maybe check out this fun post (no native scrolling experience):

great point re: Nolen's site -- I've collab'ed with him on https://eieio.games/blog/talk-paper-scissors/, I should have remembered that! :-)

it's not crazy to stack virtual lists... at that point, I might also just see that the user is near/at the end of the list, and just swap out the content completely and place them back at scrolling position y:0 or something

for sure, I shouldn't make perfect the enemy of good here. thanks for the ideas!


Oh, I'm glad i wasn't talking past you :) that uuud site and the post about it was genius, and haha, I didn't check the RPS-via-phone number app yet.

Sounds equally fun! Just like the uuid one, also seems very worth bookmarking for a fitting moment
