Maybe its just me, but waiting for the scrolling whenever I click a link in the documentation starts to eat up time. This is especially so if the link needs to scroll to the bottom of the list. I feel like it would be a better UX to not have the smooth scrolling at all, or make it time-based rather than distance-based? ---

Just thought I'd mention that I'd be open to contributing to this. ---

Can you link to somewhere you are seeing this? ---

I could be wrong, but I've noticed this in other pages also. ---

It seems snappy to me, but are you expecting/hoping for a clean jump rather than a scroll? ---

Yah, right now the scroll duration is linear, so the further down the link, the longer it takes to scroll. Frankly, I could care less about the smooth scrolling 😛. Even an option to toggle it on/off would be nice. ---

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I'll raise this with the website team and see what options we have 😃 ---
