Infinite scroll works great
until you add search
until you add “previous page”
until users start copying cursors

No offsets. No magic. Just systems that don’t lie.

@myfear something I’ve noticed a lot recently: sites with a pre-existing footer with the “contacts us” etc buttons, and infinite scroll implemented afterwards. More than once I’ve hit the bottom in order to reach “contact us” and then the page has expanded before I could click!
