What I say is that it's very disappointing that this demo goes 95% of the way to create something AWESOME, but those 5% it goes short are very stark and unfortunate. It's like a brand new Ferrari with a scratch. Wouldn't that be disappointing? Even though it's a Ferrari which is awesome.
The problem is that feelings are 95% positive and 5% negative, but my comment is 50/50. So it may seem that I'm being negative, when in fact I'm 95% positive. Hence those missing 5% are so disappointing.
Great job though, it's really neat (this goes without saying...).
Edit: The reason I talk about the negative is because it can be made better. I find it less useful to talk about positive because it's already good, so there's nothing to be done.
I think shurcooL's comment probably came across differently than s/he intended it. I think it was intended not as an expression of disapproval for the author, but rather as a description of how it feels as a user to scroll to the edge and not see it react in the satisfying way anticipated.
Interpreted that way, it's fine constructive feedback. But it's easy to see how it would be taken as a self-entitled complaint.
another example of the HN changes around here.
